There is always much path dependence in what becomes the business requirements, making the business requirements less than optimal to start with.

Then over time their is a type of entropy with all business processes.

If we don't figure out dynamic systems to handle this it is hard to see how we get a giant productivity boost across the economy.

There is also the problem that what percentage of people even have exposure to the concepts of dynamic systems? When I was in college, I distinctly remember thinking dynamic systems, "chaos theory", was some kind of fractal hippy pseudoscientific fraud best to ignore.

I think of how often I hear the average person use language from probability theory but never from dynamic systems.
