Humans tend to limit the complexity of their systems and declare tech debt bankruptcy long before they're comparable to an ecosystem. You certainly could build something distantly comparable (e.g. the internet as a whole), but it's obvious how difficult studying those sorts of systems is.

Exactly how to understand and intervene in complex systems is an active area of multidisciplinary research, not something trivial or remotely well understood.
