The technical reason is that all accounts I can get access to (which doesn’t include root) are not able to call any package manager and any installed tools are “reverted” to a whitelisted set of tools every day.
The practical reason is that I’d need to convince some board of managers who have “more important shit to do” to change the default set of tools for all 10.000 servers (VM’s) for no other apparent gain than “better scripting”, which to them will sound like making it easier for hackers to extract sensitive data :-)
