Instead of inheriting a rule package (vacations, hiring, travel, etc) from another firm, most new firms make up a new package as they grow. Such rules rot & collect cruft, but low firm lifespans limit damage. But why not inherit a well-honed package from the start?
But whenever they need rules, why don't they adopt standard packages?

Typically because at small companies, the rules are meant to constrain only a portion of the enterprise. Once they're sufficiently mature (e.g., when they have an HR manager), their policies really do start to look similar.

And I mean, really similar. It used to be that only pilfered policies and elite law firm libraries were good sources of examples; everyone has had to start from scratch. Now, anyone can buy access to reasonably good models, and they end up converging on many/most points.
