Because sharepile is horrible and the migration of existing data for large entities is onerous. It either requires dedicated personnel to maintain the metadata as well as internal teams for migration or outside entities or is no better than well-maintained servers if this is not completed. It is another MS product that is not well integrated with its power environment or platform. MS support documentation tends to tell the user to create their own scripts or other power platform flows with little useful documentation or free training available. I view it as a little value added environment that MS had marketed heavily, where a good PLM system such as Aras or otherwise would be far superior. Much less, a well maintained Google Drive or gsuites environment far surpasses the cooperative editing capabilities of MS sharepoint and onedrive.
One may say well what about CMMC, google is putting allot of efforts into this to be certified for such uses, its just the MS marketing is so prevalent, those who do not research other options stick with the status quo. I would love to see time lost due to SharePoint use in comparison of other available systems.
