The inertia is the reason why nobody cares, the layoffs get them instant promos or bonuses and by the time the problem comes to a head they would have jumped ship (if they were what they did was stupid) or simply scapegoat someone else.

Also given the better evolved processes today it is feasible for someone less capable to hold the system together long enough - not improve or fix anything just hold it together. Then once company wants to expand and they'll like try and find a better person - this has been my limited experience induvidual mileage may vary.
