Managers love standards because it makes developers interchangeable. Try finding good Python, Perl, Scala, or Groovy developers compared to Java. People come and go but the code must be maintained. That means keeping the learning curve from getting too steep.
I'm not saying I like it. Just that this is why they love standards. It is for productivity of new members that this is done, not for the current developers. What is the longest someone here has been at one company anyway? That might provide some insight on why big companies don't like these new languages.
