I still think that at least part of the issue is that many devs hate tech. They don't want to make tech more reliable or durable, they want to do their job, get paid, go home and work on toy side projects, and continue using paper and low tech stuff, even to the point of wood stoves and hand drills for anything they care about. Tech is a tool for exploring ideas to them more than a method of developing replacements for old fashioned goods, and I suspect they see the concept of trying to make it as durable as vellum as just shoehorning in the wrong solution when there's already vellum.
