When you have separate teams that design everything and never talk to anyone else because “our design is modular and can be used anywhere that fits these x basic requirements” you never have a conversation about the overall product design and usability in context.

It is the result of shitty engineering processes that are optimizing on a small scale. It sacrifices the end product in the name of savings on a single component.

Same brainworms that will cut R&D to post a profit this quarter but completely wiped out long term competitiveness. Pretty much everything terrible about modern life is explained by rampant unregulated capitalism.
