To clarify, I work embedded systems for aerospace so it's a very different world than most devs exist in. The customer is asking for something defined in a legal contract with the details spelled out for the most part. The issue is the industry is inhabited by dinosaurs so the older I get, the more I realize that *nobody* knows what they're doing. Everyone is just trying to maintain their silo so they can keep getting a paycheck. As such everyone is still using c/gcc/svn/eclipse/windows/vxworks and if you even think about changing any one of those things in the slightest you'll be inviting a firestorm of pushback as it threatens to break long established and scripted personal workflows that only the individual understands: https://xkcd.com/1172/

Corporate almost always wants faster/better/more agile/higher reuse and you see that in postings/interviews but the PMs/Principle types always dig a moat to prevent anything from moving down to Seniors and lower.
