This is super common when there are important tasks that get little visibility unless failed. From an individual perspective it’s almost always better to let the failure occur blame someone else for the failure and sweep in to save the day than to do minimal prevention to keep failure from occurring. This is almost always a result of an institution failing to reward folks for doing routine maintenance tasks and only providing incentives for new stuff.
