There's also the issue of installing Keypass itself. I see it has MSI packages available, which I know sysadmins at big companies like. There might be some other technical requirements for the password-storage software itself.
I've been carrying around KeePass on an USB flashdrive for about 3 years now and haven't yet encountered a problem running it on random Windows machines. Deploying it is just a matter of copying 4 files to the target machine really.

Oh, I didn't know about this. If I were using Windows, I'd give it a shot.
That's an unreasonable demand. You can't anticipate which computer you're going to want to check your email on, for example. Now this might be a good idea for just work-related passwords (as they only need to be used on work computers), but the problem there is that for non-web applications, you're probably going to have to copy/paste the password from Keypass.

I don't think I actually need to explain this. There are plenty of reasons why using a non-Windows operating system is not an option for many companies.
