Yep, it's risk aversion at the individual level. Your solution you fought for breaks once? That's associated with you, personally. AWS breaks three times in the same time period, or ends up costing a ton more than expected, or whatever? Well it's an "industry standard" so no-one gets the blame, even if it gets bad enough that a change (how about Azure!) is initiated.
