Investing Time to Acquire news skills DEFINATELY has cost
you said "... Invest your time and acquire new skills, "

Come on dude.

You act as if time isn't money and the costs associated with re-training your employees is magically free. You switch an OS platform and there will be RE-training, that costs money, big money. Classes, books, training sessions and you better have experienced support on tap (which ain't free) when (not if) things go loopy.

On the job re-training isn't free, it takes downtime and seriously slows productivity and normally a slew of "consulting" costs. Any CIO would have to be an idiot not take that into account.
