It was more of an issue as they had not seen combat in a while so they became lazy gambling and drinking all day. When the sultan asked them to modernize they refused as they liked getting payed to do nothing.

The Janissaries, being a conservative and traditionalist group, resisted the adoption of modern weapons because they believed it would undermine their status and power. The Janissaries were deeply rooted in Ottoman military and cultural traditions and feared that embracing modern weapons would lead to a loss of their unique identity and privileges within the Ottoman Empire. Additionally, the Janissaries had a monopoly on the production and supply of traditional weapons, which they sought to protect.
