This is basically someone asking “why did Amazon spend billions on an ERP system? I did the same over a weekend in excel spreadsheets....” Or a construction worker saying “I don’t know how the Trump tower cost so much, it’s windows all over and I could put up a window much much cheaper.” Even if they too just copy pasted open source code and tweaked until they got semi ok results, that still leaves 98% of the actual project to be done. (they likely didn’t though). And why you ask not just copy the code and get it done easily? Well if you are spending millions on all the other fases of the project in the first place, why not increase the budget available for development and have an actual robust solution that integrates with existing systems and lives up to the tons if user requirements and specifications they likely started out with.
