This is not the reason at all. Complexity and difficult are inherent to large companies.

It's because it is a very low priority in an environment where for example there are tens of thousands of libraries in use, dozens of which will be in Production with active CVEs. And there are many examples of similar security and risk management issues that companies have to deal with.

Worrying about the integrity of the hardware or not trusting my cloud provider who has all my data in their S3 buckets anyway (which is encrypted using their keys) is not high on my list of concerns. And if it were I would be simply running on-premise anyway.
