Red tape I guess. Even office supplies are more complicated than they should be, especially things not available through "preferred suppliers". Commercial software licences are more complicated again, because the powers that be want to make absolutely sure that the licence isn't violated, so there are hurdles to even purchasing a licence, then more hurdles tracking which machines/people have access to it. We buy specialised commercial software when the need is great and the alternatives are poor/absent, but it's a mission every time.
