I don’t know that the people making the decisions care all that much. Even though programmers are expensive, most managers seem to prefer to hire a dozen programmers where far fewer would get the job done if given access to better tools. They look better leading a bigger team regardless of the teams output. The incentive exists for the shareholders, but they are not the ones making hiring decisions and choosing tools for programmers to use.
