Installing Slurm requires root access to the server/workstation, which is not always available. In academia the management of computational resources is often the responsibility of a separate IT unit which is not part of the research group itself. Further the IT unit might not be willing to implement desired changes to the server infrastructure or might take _extremely_ long to do so. Often the setup of a scheduler is also significantly more complicated in this context, for example due to authentication via a University LDAP or oddities of the server setup.
