Because the IT Manager is a clueless imbecile who only wants things his way and will not take in any other alternatives whatsoever. Doesn't matter if it's better for the company, they insist on having everything their way.

I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:

I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.

That's basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they can't understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!
