You don't see how paper would be significantly easier to use when you're on top of a ladder splicing wires?

Or how it might be preferable to a touch screen on a dirty construction site?

And i did work in a company for a while, creating software for phones/tablets/notebooks for exatly those usecases, optimizing workflows in industry. Especially plans can be vastly more useful in digital form, look up IFC format.

No, they don't. And they won't, unless they work on a dirty construction site on top of a ladder wearing protective gloves themselves. Or have to actually use plans.
