You've just described the problem of all technical products that are designed under the auspice of producing a profit for its investors. I simply call it babel-tower building, as it's the earliest and simplest metaphorical example of what happens when Turing-complete languages interact with ergodic, evolutionary human incentive. Namely, differing incentives create Balkanizing forces in information processing and human trade; it's the creation of a disaster in slow-motion, and one in which the outcome will be worse for all parties than if cooperation was involved.
