Not interesting for botnets, sure.  But OpenVMS servers are absolutely 
targets. Some are big ones.

Various OpenVMS systems have a whole lot of money flowing through them, 
can and do contain credit card information, and other sensitive data.

These servers include large-scale order and payment processing and 
stocking apps, banking and investments servers, stock market services, 
and suchlike.

Not only are these OpenVMS servers targets, so too is VSI itself and 
individually those people associated with VSI, as too are the various 
OpenVMS-related freeware sites.
