Let's also not forget the alternative to the org chart, the Deming flow diagram: https://econoshift.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/19-Value-S...

Org charts often do not tell you anything about what an organisation does or how it's accomplished or who talks to who. The flow diagram does a much better job of actually... being meaningful?

Of course, the flow diagram will vary depending on which of the organisation's purposes one chooses to focus on... but so will the shape of the organisation that implements that purpose. The org chart just hides that, along with every other useful detail for actually understanding what's going on.
