Even then that's not that accurate, more like move to a different place. It's inconvenient and might not have all the same things you wanted/liked from your old place but you can actually change things in the new place if you really want to
More like moving to France. For me it wouldn't be an issue. My french isn't bad and I learn languages quickly.
I assume that's not true of everyone, just like everyone isn't great at PC stuff.
Then you find out that while the new place doesn't have the problems the old place had, it has a whole new set of problems.
Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
It is the same reason why tons of airports still run on Windows XP.
They already have documented every single issue that could even happen and their solution. Having a new OS would mean new problems that won't be solved in less than 5 minutes. Which at an airport could mean lives are at stake.
