Yep, that could be a good reason. The interoperation/integration between those free tools are not so good and suits everybody's needs. But for small organizations, TF is quite huge and expensive. That's also a problem,

Seriously? Please get us better Git or Perforce support before you worry about CVS deployments.

answer to the first comment :

* integration between open source solution is at the cost of your time and will regidify your process

* Team Foundation Server for 5 developers is about 8 000 $. what is your cost per day for your time or your developers ? 1k , up to 2k ? do you think you will spend more than 5 to 6 days to build the integration or do the manual reporting ? if yes ... TFS is much more cheaper and agile

answer to the second comment:

the concept of TFS is to have one main repository. So the idea is to replace perforce (and others) with TFS
