In my case, because DataStage is one of about 6 different code execution platforms that have to run in a unified schedule. We have batch schedules that run from z/OS to Unix and back, Unix to Windows and back, etc.

It's easy to train an operator in Control-M and be done with it. It's much more difficult to train him in 6 different interfaces and keep him up to speed on the changes in each one.

Ah... the wonders of an Enterprise Scheduler.
