Sharepoint and BizTalk spring to mind... MS Dynamics (or whatever), too.

SAP and other "configuration heavy" systems bring it to another level.

If they geniunely don't need it then it will bite the in the ass.

On the other side: the absolute nightmare hodge-podge of half-baked non-integrated solutions that Kubernetes has murdered, and the promises it delivers on for cloud-native and cloud-first systems, are major strategic wins with clear ROI...

MS does not profile Google tech without cause. The largest virtualization supplier does not integrate competing Google tech without cause. Amazon is an easier mark here, but: the very fact there is a common, turn-key, orchestration platform across all major cloud providers is massive, and very hard to attribute to developer advocacy.
