It’s difficult to disrupt companies or even whole industries that are stuffed with busy work, and had management completely uninterested in efficiency. Especially prevalent in some (non US, non Tech, high barriers to entry) work cultures that value jobs for the boys and value relationships over merit or efficiency.

I’ve seen countless processes that were locked in place to protect the status of prima Donnas in Legal or Finance, which must rubber stamp projects or infrastructure requests. So nothing gets done except what suits those inside the broken process.
