Yes, because those systems cost gobs of money. You don't replace them just for the hot new thing.

Replace? Why bring that up?

The company that owns whatever system can and should be able to convert formats.

  • They request formats that their equipment handles. They're not in the business of converting a user's file type from one to another. That would be inconsistent from what the user sent.

    Here's who I order from, you can see the particulars of what they request.

      Their job is getting an image file into reality, not to be the absent owner of a big machine.

      If the machine accepts some type of normal image file, then they can losslessly convert other file formats to that type. There is nothing inconsistent about that.
