Most people heading up studios had a backround in QA or production. So management has a familiarity and connection to the tools that are legacy. They can easily call bullshit when a hireling starts saying "Oh, my texture bake for a gun is going to occupy my computer for the next 8 hours. I'm going to leave it to cook, see you tomorrow boss!"
That's the big reason. Getting new tools for the staff would mean having to learn themselves.
Another thing is the "good enough, lets just get it done" mindset. That'd have a guy struggling and grunting to drive in some wood screws by hand because he doesn't want to climb through a messy garage to retrieve a powerdrill.
Theory of mind issue; you're thinking if you can do it then they can do it. Consider yourself a unicorn.
Linux has ALWAYS been an option. Every time windows is looking to impose a really shitty change, people threaten to go to linux. Do they though? Or they threaten to change cloud services... but they usually stay on azure.
You could have a manual transmission offer 30% better gas millage. People would still stick to automatic because they just don't have the mental bandwidth to learn manual after a lifetime of automatic.
Not justifying it, just saying, humans preserve brainpower whenever possible.
