Nothing to do with entitlement in this case, but with the expectations
of customer management (amongst others).

In a world of standard solutions, and with lots of people available to
operate/program those solutions, anything to do with VMS needs to be
as friction-free as possible (including moving to another architecture),
or, in the eyes of those customer managers, VMS becomes something that
needs to be replaced with a standard solution that the management can
easily find new employees for as required.
