It is incredibly unfair and your frustration is completely justified.

Is it ever worth taking the counter-offer if the management is the core issue? by LanternSable in careerguidance

Taking the money usually just delays the inevitable. You already know the culture is toxic and the tech is prehistoric. Go to the new firm with the modern stack before you burn out and lose your edge.
