[ quoting me ]
Ironically, I suspect that it's for the same reason that East Germany has
right up to the minute telephony services these days, while West German is
still sucking hind tit:

The big properties are, over all, likely to skew somewhat older in
building construction, and because of that, they're not built/wired
for the internal transport; too much rebar in the walls blocking
wifi and stuff like that.

A comment off list pointed out to me that sometimes, it's the reverse: 

The property jumped on-board in the late nineties, putting in a system
worthy of the next decade...

and has never updated it, cause it's "good enough".

Cheers,
