I don't think it's incuriosity or ignorance. From my observations of Canada, the reason is that it "creates jobs". It it's the classic "not-invented-here" syndrome. Noone wants to borrow the solutions of another country, or even a province or city within Canada! Always finding some rationale to do it their own way, or do more local (inferior) studies to tick a box. Then hire a bunch of inexperienced engineers to build something that they have never done, and get x10 expensive, and 10x worse results. All under a flag that it will create local jobs. Imagine that's how tech would work? We want to be build a complex micro-service system, that we have never built, and we are only going to hire talent from within the distance of 10 km, to "create jobs". How would that work out?
