"NIH" Not Invented Here syndrome. If it was not invented here it is not used. Not paid to invent everything from scratch. Paid to implement features. Success is achieved by applying not best practices but proven practices. If it works use it regardless of the source as long as it was not stolen.

It is not an automatic preference for in-house solutions, but just not being aware of how to take advantage of known UI patterns on the web. The problem is I have no slogan or buzzword to hang this concept on like "RESTful" or "big data".
