I loathe that quote, it's so much more nuanced.

A program from the 90s whose task is just to run a piece of machinery? Not broke, no problem

A program from the 90s supporting the bulk of an entire countrys economy that literally can't handle real-time transactions and causes numerous knock on effects as a result? Time replace the shit

It's because companies consider something that would be expensive to fix as "not broke."
