Why are they the last to hang on to this, and how does it benefit the company?
All you have to do is look at old-school management practices, e.g., those that were popular in the 1950's, to get your answer. That would correlate to roughly the last time that UPS updated their management practices.
Time-management (taken to extremes), anti-neptism, management through intimidation, promotion exclusively from within (even when better talent from the outside can be had), abhorrence of "new" ideas, etc...
Rumor has it that in a couple of decades they will be updating to 1980's style management, but nobody here is holding their breath.
