It’s just a washed up carcass on a stinky beach. No one cares about, or uses these defunct products from that has-been company anymore.

Alas, that carcass is still in widespread use by all sorts of businesses large and small who can't afford (or are too lazy) to migrate their applications and databases to Server 2016 or 2019, because of the radical differences.

Server 2008 was the "Win7 server"; 2012 was Win8 server; 2016 was Win10 server. 2019 is Win10 server on steriods.

It's not a seamless migration. Lots of things simply don't work, and must be re-written.

"No one cares about [2008]"? Hardly. You'd be amazed and horrified.
