in your later comment you mention alignment, but the reason is that there's an enormous market discontinuity between doing the "super-duper right thing" and doing the profitable thing ... due to network effect(s).

we see competition in cloud/IaaS providers because they actually need to build datacenters and networks and so there's some price floor, but when it comes to "antivirus" CrowdStrike was able to corner the market basically, and downstream from them not a lot of organizations/clients/costumers can justify having actual independent hot-spare backups (or having special procedures for updating CS signatures by only allowing it to phone home on a test env first)

the cultural symptoms you describe in so much detail are basically the froth (the economic inefficiencies afforded) on top of all the actual economic activity that's sloshing around various cost-benefit optimum points.

and it's very hard to move away from this, because in general IT is standardized enough that any business that needs some kind of IT-as-a-service will be basically forced to pick based on cost, and will basically pick whatever others in their sector pick -- and even if there are multiple providers the will usually converge on the same technology (because it's software) -- thus this minimizes the financial risk for clients/customers/downstream, even if the actual global/systemic risk increases.
