Using made-up numbers, if you have 50000 employees using source control at your company and a custom solution would improve their productivity by 0.1%, having a team of 10 building such a solution is positive ROI. In contrast, if you have 1000 employees, it would be a negative ROI. This is why it's worth doing if you're Google or Facebook but not most other companies.
