From my limited experience, I wild day that this is more for modern and new projects that embrace devops and other fashionable trends (no irony). They can start from scratch and give some freedom. I tried once, with the idea of "one code base" but it ended up being two code bases without strong links (I was certainly doing it wrong) Enterprise software, au least in my industry (large, well established high tech) is dreadful. It is so complex that everyone is scared of prodding it to much and obviously you wild not change the core web server. It is some tomcat anyway. I am not a pro dev but work in information security (and develop for fun at home) but even to the untrained eye this does not look good.
