There are domains wherein the software is inherently this complex and requirements analysis is unavoidable. This is particularly true when decomposing one large system into small systems. Someone needs to be the systems engineer that determines how the pieces couple together and how overall system functionality is divided into the pieces. Requirements analysis is also critical when the software is coupled to particular hardware or a particular process.
