Much of Europe is already using 24hr time.
I can see why, but you also have to consider before the invention of the clock we used sun dials to tell time, so that would effect how to tell what time it is in your particular time zone. I understand that is archaic technology in the modern world, but that is why time zones were invented and still relevant. Ask anyone that works in technology, old habits die hard, and by die hard, they go out kicking and screaming. Some SQL databases I've seen still run Solaris which has been a dead product for like ten years, navy boats that don't connect to the Internet still run windows 95 (believe it or not, I don't care, but I have seen them recently).
Solaris and Windows 95 are not as old as it gets.
There is still plenty of OS/2. In fact, you can still buy it! https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/
And of course, there is lots of DOS left in the wild as well.
I am sure there are some Vaxen still kicking around, especially in the military. I worked for a company that used a lot of DEC Alpha stuff when it was bleeding edge. To my knowledge, their customers are still using it.
I'm not unfamiliar with running DOSBOX just to talk to some old machines that by all logic should have seen EOL 20 years ago...
