I have some of these too.
- technologies had to be evaluated to be allowed on the network. This process took years. Git (as a replacement for subversion) had been in evaluation for over 14 years at the time.
- network authentication mechanisms made building an http/s Webservice internally impossible without the security teams approval which takes months.
- ironically the 'rules' around 'security' were regularly broken and not audited when it was convenient for someone with the clout to make something happen.
