In my experience, mainly in the non-tech enterprise space, the classic sysadmin team is allergic to writing code that would require ongoing maintenance. The most they would do is write a throwaway script, or possibly have their own personal set of scripts. But write an actual tool for broader consumption? Never. It's one of the biggest differences I see day to day in enterprise operations and developer mindsets. Developers generally do not worry about who will support code before they write it, because their entire job is to write code. Operations teams on the other hand want to find an off the shelf tool, with enterprise support, even for what could be a fairly simple task.
