Because for every new site that I have to spin up, it uses the same governed components, it makes it faster, launches with zero brand drift, and editors never need a developer for day-to-day page building.

The main improvement needed for Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is related to its complexity, as it is not that lightweight with a surfeit of features, requiring users to read up on all the myriad of features, and while it is a sophisticated enterprise product that necessitates that complexity, the learning curve can be a bit steep for less experienced users needing quick task completion.
