Antipattern criticism seems more as a warning to others who aren't invested in failure as often the practitioners are too far gone in preserving their own egos over changing their course. The "self-sustance" of the system is insanity akin to chopping down walls for firewood, never building new ones (while inefficient that would at least be a way of wear cycling) and then once they are left on a dirt lot bemoaning it was unforeseeable yet inevitable.
