tl;dr: LiMux didn't just fail due to politics (although politics did play a large role and I will forever dislike Dieter Reiter for a multitude of reasons, LiMux being among them), it was set up for failure from the beginning, mostly budget related.

The issue was propaganda. There are even rumors that Dieter Reiter told someone that he regretted moving away from LiMux after he had to pay so much money for IT.
Depends on how one judges the state of equipment - I remember my private laptop having 4x the RAM than the city's computer... or my school's MuSiN computers running on win2k (!) until at the very least 2012. If that isn't a budget problem, I really really don't know what else could be one.
