It's not corporate IT's fault, it's usually corporate leaderships fault who often cosplay leading technology and not understanding it.
Wherever Tech is a first class citizen and seat at the corporate table, it can be different.

This is where the problems come from. Auditors are definitely what ultimately causes IT departments to make dumb decisions.
For example, we got dinged on an audit because instead of using RSA4096, we used ed25519. I kid you not, their main complaint was there wasn't enough bits which meant it wasn't secure.
Auditors are snake oil salesman.
This is 100% it- the auditor is confirming the system is configured to a set of requirements, and those requirements are rarely in lockstep with actual best practices.
Believe me, the average Fortune 500 CEO does not know or care what “SSL MITM” is, or whether passwords should contain symbols and be changed monthly, or what the difference is between ‘VPN’ and ‘Zero Trust’.
They delegate that stuff. To the corporate IT department.
