Who knows but usually for NASA and the Military it’s the exact opposite at least for hardware in the field, because often the hardware needs to be battle hardened, or in the case of NASA, radiation hardened.

I know for one NASA often uses very old chips in space, like special versions of 1980s/1990s CPUs because they are less vulnerable to cosmic/solar radiation, extreme temperatures, etc.
