Is there any reason you cut away the core part of the comment by John Wentworth that I linked? Do you disagree with it, or something?
So why do bureaucracies (and large organizations more generally) fail so badly?
My main model for this is that interfaces are a scarce resource. Or, to phrase it in a way more obviously relevant to factorization: it is empirically hard for humans to find good factorizations of problems which have not already been found. Interfaces which neatly split problems are not an abundant resource (at least relative to humans’ abilities to find/build such interfaces). If you can solve that problem well, robustly and at scale, then there’s an awful lot of money to be made.
Also, one major sub-bottleneck (though not the only sub-bottleneck) of interface scarcity is that it’s hard to tell who has done a good job on a domain-specific problem/question without already having some domain-specific background knowledge. This also applies at a more “micro” level: it’s hard to tell whose answers are best without knowing lots of context oneself.
