    Plenty of people are benefiting you just don’t see it because it’s internal.

    The incentives are such that new thing is better and looks better on your year end goals.

    Plus when an org gets large enough and siloed enough the left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing.

    It usually boils down to this, something can be strictly better but not perfect.

    The ability to audit the code is usually strictly better than closed source. Though I’m sure an argument could be made about exposing the code base to bad actors I generally think it’s a worthy trade off.
