Such a statement is unfounded. Fortran is a niche language. Its usage is proportional to the size of the community it supports. Fortran is designed for scientists and engineers who specifically need high-performance computing. That community is small, but it does not mean that they do not exist. It's a tiny community, but it is running the world as of today without anyone noticing it. If you checked the weather today, that was the work of Fortran. Just one example.
