I think most of it can be attributed to Not Invented Here Syndrome. Everyone wants to invent the next Great Thing, be in control of the protocols and standards, have job insurance—-so instead of using long-established international standards and time-tested tools, they invent reasons to go their own way. Can’t blame them: new is exciting and challenging, old is boring and practical.
