Of course, it's my fault. We should all listen to you carefully and
ignore the real world. I bet you even won some kind of TV contest. Wow!

Lol, read & comprehend. You forgot this part. Selective comprehension.
“Because the mainframe has evolved, they need fewer mainframes to perform
Walmart’s growing business.”
Insinuating is a fool’s proposition.

I'm not talking about 20 years ago.
You said, "Walmart used to have multiple mainframes"
Implication: They currently have only 1 or zero.
That's not the case, and I think you would be surprised at the count.

I’ll guarantee the current count is less than 20 years ago.

Walmart used to have multiple mainframes. Also need fewer mainframe support

Alas, this is patently false. The number of MIPS may be growing, but the
number of boxes, shops, and applications is clearly dropping. When was the
last time a new mainframe customer joined this list? Why are the parking
lot and floor in POK empty all the time?
I sure wish it wasn't so, but all the real-world evidence says it is, alas.
Asserting otherwise is wishful thinking unsupported by the evidence.
A better use of energy is looking for ways to keep the platform vibrant.
