... Isn't master the current production code? How do you get a master that haven't been touched in 15 years?
I think OP is talking about the fact that most new projects use "main" now, so "master" likely indicates an older project.
Because you have a terrible branching strategy
73 feature branches in active development (most for several months), and one intern (currently on m/paternity leave) responsible for merging them. Check! In the meantime, several branches deployed to prod behind a reverse proxy with feature flags.
