DEC's CEO actually said something in the same vein! DEC had 140k employees in 1987 and was dead 11 years later.
Ofc. DEC's CEO was talking about minicomputers, workstations, etc., as well, but being "diversified" across all of those didn't save them.

But mainframes never died. They are still half of IBM's profits and a third of revenue. Maybe IBM will die too, but I doubt mainframes will.

I don't think anyone here is claiming that mainframes are dead or will die. But they've been in slow decline for most of my life.
