The extra control is hypothetically nice, but in practice one-off services that are different from the rest of the infrastructure (as a shop would be, like the blog, OTRS, etc) tend to be *extremely* expensive and difficult to care for, and tend to be the very weakest points of the system (including privacy and security).
Those are only limited by the choice of the foundation.
If they wanted someone with OTRS/wordpress/cisco ios/SmartTeam/etc skills, they would hire appropriately so the operations team was equipped with the staff and skills needed.
It's like running a shop without a retail manager, It could work, but would work a lot better if it was staffed with people with the appropriate skillsets.
