This. The world is full of incompetent people winging it, and the competent ones are busy putting out the fires they left behind. It takes 3000 years to build a Ming-vase, but only a kid playing soccer to destroy it. Making a mess is a low effort endeavour. Cleaning it up, might as well be 1/99 of your lifetime. Tech projects are asymmetric warfare between the business side supporting the "cheapest" project approach and engineers allowed to clean it up properly only after the sunken cost fallacy trapped the clueless.
