Not really.

More like: even if something is good then it will eventually end up
bad if it does not change.

I guess there are two opinions on VMS.

A) VMS is still great and people are stupid to want the new stuff.
    So no need to improve VMS - just need to explain the truth to people.
B) VMS was great but is no longer due to lack of the new stuff
    that people want. So VMS need to be brought up to current standards.

I believe in #B.

Sure.

There is good change and bad change.

And it is not even always obviously what is what when the
decisions need to be made.

Otherwise it would be damn easy to run a business.
