Same as in any other large company: empire building and pfiefdom staffing. That is what people do. I find it curious how this is allowed to be completely, completely absent in the standard narrative on private business, and yet so ridiculously obvious to anyone that has ever worked in one.

There is this canon dogma about 'market efficiency keeping things lean and fit', which is so obviously false and disproven by every single Corp out there, and yet is allowed to stand. Curious.
