My purely speculative guess is that -- like large
universities and
other slow-to-change bureaucracies which have no profit motive, tight
funds, and no customer-feedback systems -- they think in terms of
big, uniform solutions that cost lots of money, are hard to upgrade,
and are centrally controlled.
On the contrary, universities *do* have profit motives, money available,
and customer feedback systems. They still use big, uniform solutions
that cost lots of money, are hard to upgrade, and are centrally
controlled, but they generally manage to upgrade things at the end of
each academic year.
