A DRIP within a brokerage account doesn't have anything to do with the companies that offer DRIP's.

I understand that that is the current setup, but I don't understand why? If I own 400 shares of a stock with a 1% dividend yield, it should be just as easy for the company to send me on share of new DRIP stock each quarter as it is to send the cash dividend. What does it matter which brokerage I use to hold the shares?
