"Works for us". Which is a pretty good argument.

Why is it laughable exactly? I mean for me I can't use CVS due to the lack of atomic directory checkins, but if they don't need them or they have already a system in place which may even better tie with their development/release style than any generic VCS could, why bother?

You make that sound as a disadvantage...
