The answer in this post, at least as I read it, is that companies don't want to make the investment into good e-learning. "In organization both big and small... the organization buys the software and that's about it. The developers don't tend to get much more and must cobble together all sorts of things to build their courses." Also, "When it comes to teaching, we're very content-centric... There are no supporting activities to practice using it. There's no opportunity to make real-world decisions and get feedback."
