I think it is. It's more akin to a renovation project. Like when venues have a 1920's pipe organ upgraded and refurbished to keep it playing. Sure the keyboard is now midi, the pump is electric instead of manual and the valves are electrically controlled now. But it keeps a masterpiece in working order and modernized for today's enjoyment. While an engineer definitely lost nights of sleep and lots of elbow grease to make it possible. It's not easy to keep such old code modern and playable.
Nah, the community has been keeping it alive for decades, much better than any corporation could.
The community updates for these sorts of things never seem to be interested in controller support and split-screen, so when those things are well supported, that's when I get excited.
Not to mention native console ports with crossplay multiplayer
