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.

that doesn't mean I want to work on mainframes (and I know a lot of people who do since the IBM chip I worked on was both z and p series).

The parenthetical is just to say that working in a declining area tends to be a lot less nice than working in a growing area.
