    Dude, you keep asking this question throughout the post and I don’t think you’re going to get an answer that satisfies you.

    The short answer is industry inertia and professionals not realizing the amount of power they gave away to toolmakers of their profession through the computer age.

    Long answer is most people use these tools to work and the vast majority of paid professional work doesn’t happen in a vacuum and is, in fact, a team effort. So that effectively sets the floor and ceiling for use and adoption. Remember, most real people who get paid real money don’t give a shit about which software package or which version of whatever-the-fuck. In fact, they’d rather most of that bleed away so that they only have to think about what they got hired to think about. Also Bob the CISO really fucking hates anything that ends in .py.

      That is the most satisfying answer yet.

      Sorry for soapboxing. I get a little spicy when discussing intellectual property rights.
