"Liking" doesn't mean so much when lots of money is involved. A decade
ago, a fair few people may have expressed loyalty to HP-UX/Itanium, but
it was obvious then that it wasn't going to grow, and the writing has
been on the wall for Itanium since 2019. 

Moving almost any kind of HP-UX software to Linux is much easier than
moving VMS software that uses VMS hard to anything else.
