The reason is because we have one secure note for an entire site. We do work as a managed services provider for solar and wind generation sites. There are hundreds of devices between firewalls, switches, servers, and other substation OT equipment, and it's easier to have it all in a secure note. Also, there are descriptions and notes on how to connect to the various devices and information about things to be aware of, such as some devices need to be restarted in a certain order, services on servers that need to be running after Windows Updates, etc. There isn't really a good fit to have each device with it's own custom field. We may consider custom fields at some point, but each site has it's own idiosyncrasies and the secure note with it's free form capability works well for us at the moment.
