If you've walked into a bank, hospital, or anywhere using a PoS system, you've interacted with legacy software--in some cases, literally jury-rigged DOS software. Outside of trendy dev circles, legacy software is the name of the game.
OK, banks, hospitals. You forgot SCADA systems. How on earth do you leap from these to not only all business, but all humans?
Nearly all retail and food service businesses in the west operate POS systems. Very few of those run anything more than Windows XP, and a huge number run DOS or OS/2.
I'd think emulators would make short work of those, especially the DOS ones.
