What they have in common is that the people ordering it are not the people using it. These companies focus on the former, who want different things to the latter. Which sucks for the users but it makes sense for the vendors.

And yet at my last two startups, when we could literally pick any product on the market - there was tremendous pressure from product, project management, devs, and the business to use JIRA "because it worked just fine at the last place I worked and even if it didn't, at least I'm familiar with it". I'd love to see a killer Jira replacement that people don't say "in spite of how ugly and slow and barely useable it was, I still love Jira".
