gets to live out of necessity

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) SAP
Hana 【gets to live out of necessity】: Without Hana no S/4! The enthusiasm for Hasso Plattner’s innovation has long since died down, however. Everyone loves Hana (because they have to), but no one wants to marry her.
Hana是SAP的一款产品。
gets to的意思感觉不好揣摩。
Hana肯定是因需要而存在的?

每个人都爱 Hana(因为他们必须爱她),但是没有人想娶她。

Hana 这产品还存在是因为很多用户还在用它。

因没有人与之竞争而得以存在

通过后文的表述可推断:因为别无其他选择,人们只能选择Hana,但其实Hana并不是人们最理想的产品。而Hana之所以一直得以存在也恰恰就是由于它“独一份”的优势或者说没有更好的产品与之竞争。
