OS tools such as WP, Drupal, et al aren't even remotely in the same class of app as Scoop, or those built by various other online pubs (exa: Salon), nor are they "new", some have roots going back five and ten plus years in the respective org.

The conclusion is way off base and ill informed; early digital pubs recognized immediately that OS CMS systems and blogware weren't going to cut it and brewed their own tech (a few of which were subjected to attempted productization, which inevitably failed, exa: vignette storyserver), and nothing's really changed in that regard.
