Many administrators, especially those running live and busy systems, are very reluctant to diverge much from the standard packaging of free software that comes with thier chosen distribution. If you have particular specialist knowledge e.g. of Sendmail you might be willing to build the official distribution from source. However, few will experiment with an unofficial patch from a third party on a live and busy working system. While it is certainly true that free software has the advantage that you can experiment with it, few want to risk service reliability to end users by doing so, and not everyone has the luxury of parrallel working and test systems to experiment on.
