You mean they dont have giant tape drives running the production platform?
Haha, no, but I do remember the tapes as they were just hanging on when I started on some of the old legacy systems.

I can hear the tape whirring when I search in my monzo app for my latest transactions 
This is conclusive evidence that we are being consistently lied to by the government and large corporations who are acting in concert.
They’ll have us believe that the limiting factor in phone size is the battery, when any fool knows that we could easily have phones the size of postage stamps if they allowed us to have them.
We’ve been fed the lie that they can reduce the size of electronic components to smaller than a human hair. Utter nonsense.
The actual reason phones are so large, is the size of the tape machine. Ever wondered why your phone might freeze every now and again? That’s the tape rewinding.
And that’s the truth.
