They honestly don't need to. Knowing what I know from friends who work on the healthcare IT systems, the shit has been totally devastatingly out of date in so many ways.

Part of it is planned obsolescence, where you have a perfectly good MRI machine that only works on Windows 95 and isn't airgapped from the rest of the network. Part of it is just skimping on IT costs, but their security has been Swiss Cheese for a long time.
