Ah, so you've privatised the benefits and externalised the costs.
But mostly it's a mix of the integration network effects you mention, cost of reimplementation if you want to leave, and the good old "nobody gets fired for buying IBM" dynamic.
The future mostly sucks but some parts are pretty cool.
