Another factor is that when RI was first introduced, people tended to overuse it and then performance was bad. I don't think this is such a problem today, but I think many ERP packages were either developed before RI was common to all SQL databases, or were discouraged by the initial problems. But I agree that the main factor has been that they try to be compatible with all databases and the easiest way is to maintain their own data dictionary and not implement RI in the database.
