Often times it is because there are differing technologies that the network operations team stop at the edge switch and not at the nic/ip stack on the end device. Yet this is one of the most common areas for failure for any number of reasons. In my experience working with Fortune 50 enterprises I keep hearing this common refrain, it goes like this: "Company X is taking a holistic view of their data center and wish to treat all assets in a uniform manner." And why is that? because it lowers the cost of doing business. If adapters to convert one technology to another are needed they cost time and money. So while I agree its not fun to have to implement overlapping technologies from the developers point of view, at least if one of the technologies is snmp at least it didn't suck up all the devices remaining resources and is highly likely to be used to good effect.
