I'm curious – why are they hard to keep running?

  They're operational nightmares. Among other reasons, their designed intent is to allow untrusted users to execute arbitrary computer code on your infrastructure. The abuse problems are mammoth, the not-malicious-but-still-bugged submissions from users even worse. They have lots of moving parts, most of which are more complicated than standard CRUD app components. Also, fundamentally, a CTF is a distraction from the core business everywhere it runs. Except Starfighter.
