It may be negligible, but I suspect that what is left is mission
critical and "embedded" type which means it can't be changed easily and
is there for a long time.  Same for some manufacturing plants with VAX
boxes still in production because they are an integral part of the
machinery/automation.

It is a given that VMS isn't going to be pitched for new applications.
And one even wonders if HP-UX will now fall into that one too.
