This has been an interesting discussion, but I haven't gathered an
understanding of "Why?"

If there has been a widely-disseminated international agreement for the
last 60 years to a certain pitch (namely 440), why do many of today's
major orchestras and instrument manufacturers choose a slightly
different standard?
