The "normal" for enterprise and especially government software is dogshit though.
It's because the people doing the procurement are not the people actually using the thing day to day. They treat UX and design as extravagances in the face of spec-sheets and slick marketing decks.

If a big vendor says they'll handle it all and mount a huge PR push if anyone questions your decision, it's not hard to see why people opt to overpay.
