Do you happen to understand why that is? The concept of version control seems as obvious to me as the sun, and I can't really imagine it being any other way.

Or do you really mean just that these developers were reticent about using the tools available to them? That makes more sense - laziness is something I can identify with.

I can answer that for you:

mostly it is because of the strong drive of people _against_ change. most people are not open to the idea that the way they are doing things is no longer the preferred/most optimal way of doing things.

Sure, but that's different to being unable to grasp the *concept*, which is what the OP said. I'm guessing they probably didn't mean it literally.
