Telnet is "old" because iit is simple and does its job well. It

operator error, not a protocol security violation.
I agree to this, but I can add that telnet remains widely used for login
in OT (Operational Technology) environments, including sites running
critical infrastructure. While operators often justify this by relying
on network isolation, this reasoning breaks down the moment the air gap
is bridged.
