Maybe it would be more correct to say - mostly because its not from a long lived company and also a dash of open source fear. One of the aspects of enterprise software is that customers want to rely on it over the long term with low fear that it's going to disappear or break. Enterprise software customers are like nervous foals - you don't want to spook them! It's really the same reason that big enterprises have ended up using source control destruction systems like visual source safe instead of basically any free source control. We used vss for a huge codebase (hundreds of devs) and no amount of dev complaining got us to move off of it. It want until there was a major loss of source issue and then we somehow made the decision to move to tfs if you can believe that. "Well... Msdn plus it'll be around for the long term you know. And look there are branches! Omg!"
