I have complained often... to no avail.
Being behind the times is par for a lot of large businesses. This
occurs when IT groups intentionally set things up so as to maintain
their job security. It's bad planning and bad oversight
(management). OTGH, it's a quite necessary, as the hacker
underworld needs it to survive.
To an extent, but in many cases it's out of the local IT
hands....sometimes it's ineptitude or extortion on the part of
outside vendors.

That would come under the heading of bad oversight (management).
Sometimes it's because out outside-imposed rules on the IT people;
for instance by UA policy (handed down by the AZ Board of Regents)
it is mandatory that any system connected to the UA campus network
run an antivirus program.
In theory that includes my iPod. In practice that also means my
netbook running Linux.
