I think you don't understand how large businesses operate. They minimize risk whenever possible, sometimes even at the expense of profits. Running servers without some kind of safety net (read as: someone outside the company to blame) is a huge risk. Even if they have talented admin(s) on their staff, employees get sick, quit, or just don't feel like fixing some things.
This is how large business operates. It's amazing they make any profit at all.
