Yes indeed any and every open source bibliographic software can but not everyone uses them. Indeed the most frequently used bibliographic package installed out there amongst the market is neither open source nor handles BibTeX. EndNote is by far the market leader and it does not accept BibTeX (probably deliberately on the part of ThompsonReuters). To make an assumption about what users actually have to hand is a gross generalisation. Not everyone is as committed to open source or is permitted to be. When I returned to univeristy, as a mature student, a ew years ago the expectation was that all 10,000 students in the univeristy would use EndNote. There was no mention of any open source products at all. Installation of unapproved software is a dismissable offence.
