Regulation, and taking advantage of current practices? Any aviation or civil engineering project is in a highly regulated environment, and lives can be spectacularly lost if the product fails. Lawsuits and criminal charges would likely be large and numerous if such a project failed, and was built with entirely new processes and technologies that were seemingly chosen on the whim of a project leader and their people, combined with "something we found on github." (I'm guessing there's no such thing as github for civil or aerospace engineering.) If your environment constrains you in some dimension, then you're not going to spend much time and resources discovering new ways to stretch that dimension. "Cherish your constraints," if you will.
