It's not about "productivity" but paperwork compliance, those old school companies live and die by the certifications and Microsoft has tons of rubber stamping of anything you would want which makes them happy.

Nobody in those old style companies are ever evaluating tech on it's merits.

There's always better solutions, sometimes even much cheaper in some categories but they really want the stamps.

..or just companies that are serious about preventing data leaks and have some traceability to identify when or what happens in case of breach.

Data leaks in those companies are not about the security of the data itself but about who can cover themselves in case of a leak.

If you can demonstrate all the compliance, that's an insurance when something happens, regardless of the actual security value it provides which is rarely evaluated anyways.

Companies working this way really aren't tech companies and they don't behave as such.
