Conway's Law & micro-services help maintain flatter organizations at least in tech focused companies. When disagreements arise & consensus is hard, the various parties can simply introduce a new service boundary & go their different ways.

We have exactly that. Eight microservices that should have been two, all using slightly different technlogy, and still nobody buys our product since everybody disagree on what customers actually need.

I'm not sure if this an argument for "true" flatness so much as it's an argument for self-organising teams.
