As upper management perceives, even through media such as airline
magazines, that (some; I'm confident not all) z/OS systems programmers
exhibit public delight in unwillingness to assimilate new technology and
in performing their jobs in a needlessly difficult, even painful manner,

I'm not 'upper management', I'm very downlevel manager and I don't read airline magazines at all, I prefer some good redbook instead... HOWEVER MY OPINION IS EXACTLY AS THE ABOVE! Yes, majority of mainframe people I ever met do their job in needlessly difficult, sometimes even painful manner. SOme of them are absolutely unwilling to assimilate anything "new", even like DFSMS (is it modern? is it "cool"? did it come from "colorful worlds of Windows, Apple etc."?).
Of course there are also people more opne-minded, but the majority...
Oh, someone could say there are old farts and young wolves. No, the division is not so simple, I know clever open-minded gray-haired folks and young but very "old-minded" adepts.


it bodes ill for the future of the platform.
Yes, I wish it would be untrue.
