Gee, I wonder why proprietary CMS systems struggle to find lots of customers? If the company that owns the CMS gets bored and moves on or goes out of business you suddenly need to migrate all of your websites to a new system and teach all of your employees a new workflow. That leaves a lot of time where you aren't "focus[ing] on [your] "core" business"
