My HP Scanjet IIcx scanner is about 30 years old and still works fine. SCSI interface.

I did have to replace the scanner top with a white piece of solid plastic. The original top was very thin plastic veneer bonded onto a foam rubber base which of course by now has self-destructed.

How did HPE and HP fall from the top of the industry in respect to the bottom over those 30 years?

As tech companies get bigger, older and stop innovating, the management team changes from engineers and entrepreneurs to bean counters.
