What's happened here is that you've erroneously assumed there's a good reason. It's fun to hold nonsense like this up against testimony from the ministers and officials at the Horizon enquiry, all of whom can be relied upon to say that "with the benefit of hindsight" obviously what they did was wrong but insist that they were too stupid to realise there was a problem and thought they were powerless to do anything.

Remember on average the other humans are just as stupid and lazy as you are. Most often there aren't "good reasons" for what happened, if there are even reasons at all.
