Firstly because the tech team has varied enormously over the last 25 years. Some have been around a while, some are new.
Secondly because middle management (and for all I know upper management) has cycled a lot over the last 25 years. (We've had 3 different middle managers on this project in the 2.5 years since the project was first proposed.)
So, speaking generally now, it's common for the people who did the hiring not to be the ones who now have trust issues.
Equally decades of failed software projects (industry wide) have lead to a (well deserved) reputation for IT not being trustworthy.
