I don't think this is that surprising. A lot of those firms would already have large-ish engineering teams already but managing the complexity of the mail servers is just not a good use of that resource. Mail is a mostly solved technical problem, and having 'better' mail servers than the next guy isn't going to put food on the table any more.

  > It would be like trying to program your own switchboard or run your own phone lines You mean like a PBX? Most companies with >= 50 employees do this. Smaller/newer ones will definitely tend towards a managed service for this though.
