I’ve been I’m working professionally in the industry for 23 years. I’ve never had a company refuse to purchase any tool I say I want or need. I wouldn’t work for any company that would. My hourly rate is way higher than the cost of any tool. It is ridiculous to not buy tools that might make me more efficient.
When that tool is a 3rd party which takes proprietary code as an input surely you can understand pushback from big software, financial services etc companies?
