Its not that they don't care. Its that they don't know any better. Look, these people are probably less tech-savvy than your parents. As far as they're concerned, those little boxes on or underneath their desks are magic. Now, given that, do you really expect them make informed and rational decisions about how much a computer should cost to install and maintain?
