It is pretty annoying in a big company if every team uses totally different software to get their work done. It makes it a lot harder to build tools that help make your coworkers more productive. So it seems reasonable for companies to make decisions like “we use Box here, not Dropbox” and encourage employees to all go the same way.
Kind of like if a company ran 1000 MySQL instances and then a new engineer wanted to build a new service using Postgres because they were most familiar with it. Adding more different tools to the stack is technical debt.
