My theory is that it seems so much easier to "delegate" and buy one's responsibility out of the problem when one's budget is awash with investor cash, particularly for public companies. In some ways it is often refreshing to work for early-stage/cash-starved companies because blatant waste such as this is not that easy to achieve. A darker variant of this theory tries to determine whether the principals of the firm being contracted have any relationship with the people hiring them.
