The problem is intranet applications specificially developed for IE6, and where an upgrade of the browser would require modifications to those apps. Which brings a cost (which, depending on the implementation, might be small or large). When faced with this, the decisionmakers take the cheapest option: leave IE6 where it is. It costs no extra money, because the security measures are taken anyway (irregardless of any browser issues). At least, that has been my experience in large corps.
