I'm shocked universities don't host their own LMS? At least large universities have the IT departments to do this. They host compute clusters, so they can certainly host an LMS.

The same reason hospitals don't have their own Patient Information System but all use Epic. The amount of customization you need and continuous churn due to changing curricula and regulatory requirements makes it hard to keep up without scale.
