Yes, I believe most companies have poor reasons for the technology they use.

I'm skeptical. My experience shows that technical choices are often driven by politics:

- The boss knows the people selling the software so he chooses it based on that

- The boss used this software in the past and he wants to stick with it

- Penny pinching (Superior software is more expensive)

- The boss who chooses the software doesn't have to use it.

- We get this software for free because it is included in another contract. We might as well use it...

And many other bad reasons.
