It's also a lot about who holds the buying power and what's the incentive. If I'm a developer working for a company, I probably wouldn't bother raising it up to management. Especially when it's tools like this where there are lots of questions to answer: Will it actually be faster? How does it work? Would it be reliable? What's the cost of moving?
The uncertain "faster build time" would be nice. But is it worth raising it up and battling for it? Unlikely.
I think a different case can be made if you target the managers instead. "Make developers twice as productive" might be a better selling point.
