On-premise sysadmins are dinosaurs
Yep, harsh but true.
99% of C-level peeps aren't interested in the regular demands from IT Dept. for £££M capital to upgrade servers etc. or that Windows 201x is now out of support and the EA needs renewing. The direction of travel is to SaaS and 'evergreen' (i.e. automatically patched) services and no-one is much bothered about the details.
