Don't disagree with that, but the Telco vendors change the equipment and after 5 years(approx) it's obsolete. Your then trying to engineer another solution to fit the the shelf and the differing connections ect into the cabinets again at a massive cost. The software used to connect to the shelves after a few years is then not supported for a decent amount of time which again causes problems. As there is kit out there that will only work on Wins 3.1. WINS 98 ect we are now on Win 10 nearly, laptop connections using serial ports now having to use USB-Serial and all the issues that brings when using corporate laptops.
The CATV network is so much easier to upgrade when you have different vendors to accommodate for.
