I met a guy who works in Sacramento who still programs in Cobol today

The more recent languages take more time to process because there are so many layers to get to the zeros and ones from them now whereas early computer languages were very close to Machine language and didn't have all the layers languages do now. So, for many applications it is much cheaper and less time consuming to still program them in Cobol even today all these years later.
