A lot (all?) of companies want full control of their data. or at least they want to know that their data is in good hands.

There are of course other aspects, like legal (eg. banking laws), that might set pressures on data control.
It will be interesting, if cryptography will ever be fully trusted. Banks are physically destroying defective disks, instead of sending them back to the manufacturer. Let's see how this procedures will change, when on-disk encryption will be widespread.
Banks are very conservative (good&bad). We don't want the NSA to sniff around, don't we?
