It is, in the sense that I wouldn't expect it to happen, at least to me. But it's not unrealistic that some CEO would actually listen to you about the matter and put his foot down to make it happen. These are not matters difficult to comprenhend, my guess is that people use to take IT stuff for granted and that's it. I've also known guys who didn't give a fuck when they saw upper management screw up tech-wise so as not to get into arguments. That also cripples healthy feedback.
