Yeah, there’s 90%+ overlap between most of the big ones. A lot of it is “this is the way we’ve always done it” in particular company or industry, and sticking with one is way easier than migrating to a different one. But some have certain strengths and weaknesses where it would actually make sense to pick one over the other.
