Nothing at IBM is ever straightforward.
Decades ago, I was working with three IBM employees on a client project. During a discussion about a backup solution, one of them suggested that we migrate all customer data into DB2 on a daily basis and then back up the DB2 database.
I asked why we couldn't just back up the client's existing database directly, skipping the migration step. The response? "Because we commercially want to sell DB2."
