Thank you for bringing this forward. It's simply too easy (an understatement, really) to impute malice, even incompetence, to the gritty mechanics behind complex systems.
In most cases, every single actor is willing a different outcome, but the system kinda has a life and goals of its own. And so those apparently nonsensical behaviors emerge.
We can call them stupid, but they're stupid by their own accord...
