I'll speak here about getting profs to use software in "regular" non-programming courses. Even today there's a big hurdle to get profs to use software in courses. It's easy for a prof to fill out the textbook order form the bookstore sends over each term, let students provide all money involved, then assign them to work the odd-numbered problems at the end of chapters. It takes a lot more energy, and is something many profs don't know how to start doing, to get software budgeted and licensed, installed in a lab, and then tested to make sure everything works.
