Exactly - work.

People want to roll things out with as little effort as possible, and
the more prepackaging/preconfiguring/pre-thinking has gone into
something, the more people are ready to use it, and especially in the
large company world.  Frankly, you can't really blame them;  with so
many IT systems in a single large organization, you can't spend a lot of
time on things.
