Even if they have one, that sysadmin could be incompetent or out of their depth.

Just started a new job where the last guy was decent enough, but what ended up being built up needs to basically be redone, e.g., a giant /21 network: no server VLAN/subnet, or separate network for network management interfaces or server IPMI.

Or just overworked. In theory you can self-host everything, but there's a always a time tradeoff.
