It might be a stereotype but it's also my experience, which granted is limited and Windows based, which as I pointed out in the previous comment hasn't been really onboard with the scripting experience until relatively recently

As to the declarative markup, for instance Azure Devops still doesn't have feature parity between YAML pipelines and classic pipelines, so while you could well be right about the same resistance to yaml, it's not, necessarily an issue yet.

Most devops tools are built on Linux for Linux, then ported to Windows later as an afterthought, so I don’t think platforms are much of a factor. It’s a defect in the production pipeline somewhere, something like feedback from potential users not reaching developers until it’s too late. It doesn’t help that, in some cases, vendors just impose what is going to happen, and the community is simply forced to put up with it.
