It is, but it creates the 'soft chewy center' of production infrastructure that hackers so enjoy.
People are supposed to do defense in depth, where there are multiple layers such that a compromise of a single one only leads to limited damage, but too often it's more like there's a hard outer shell surrounding a soft chewy center where they thoroughly and completely own you once the outer layer has been compromised.

You were not PLANNING for the abandoned kindergarten to be your command post against the rebels but that is where you ended up. Same goes for corporate security sometimes. The chewy soft center was written in happier, more cheerful times. By undergrads. Who now are fully vested and long since left the building. Then the mercenaries are called in to defend it against the Internet. But I digress.
