I read an article by the Economist a few years ago supporting a more general notion that the legal system is subject to a natural increase in the quantity of superfluous fees that are tacked on like pork due to the fact that the legal system is run by lawyers, who naturally like policies and systems that help lawyers make money.

I wonder what the programming equivalent of such a way of thinking is...

It would be like programmers supporting policies that pay programmers per SLOC they write.
