Having worked on Enterprise software, the guys that are paying for X feature to be added usually have no UX sense themselves and, unless we are explicitly given the freedom to put it in as we see fit, we're left to the customer to tell us where it goes. Customer: I want this new button right there. Developer: This menu is already quite cluttered with other features we've put here. Could we not add it to a new menu? Customer: No, I spend like 95% of my day in this menu, so I want it right here. Developer: This might be confusing to some of our other customers, though. Customer: Yeah well they're not paying for it. Do you want my money or not?
