Most commonly seems to be interoperability, the switches do their own job fine
in their own isolated environment but they cant act as a "ISP router".. in my
experience then tend to have odd bugs and behave slightly unexpectedly when say
for example routing OSPF or BGP.

As opposed to enterprise-class routers, which have their own odd bugs. ;)

more people tried to use them perhaps the vendors would fix the code!

IOS 12 isn't bug-free.
