Thats the problem though, there are near infinite ways for someone along the way to completely fuck it up, and very few ways to get it right. And security concerns are almost always going to make the distro worse for the users.

And even if it was left to IT professionals, they are just as capable of making it a mess on their own.

IT professionals only get a say when the C-suite accepts that IT is a necessity, not a burden. This is extremely uncommon.

Working in enterprise IT sucks. I've had jobs where we had to have CFO approval to buy a bag of zipties (the request was denied, BTW)
