Maybe. I would think the human factor is also involved here, namely that it's hard to admit you're doing terrible (in this case: losing a lot of good talent) so people kind of get into an echo chamber where they and their club pat themselves on the back for how well they're doing "despite adversity".
It's quite pathetic really but that's Homo Sapiens for ya. I've been guilty of the same in the past. To finally understand how wrong did you get various factors is honestly like traveling to another dimension. Most people can't and will not ever do it.

90% of the time I am inclined to agree but not sure about this case. There's a lot of money at stake in the gaming industry and I'd be inclined to think the higher-ups at least are quite aware of what they're doing. They simply surround themselves with deluded people that will allow them to coast on deflecting blame for as long as possible.
And finally, I could just be paranoid and I am not claiming anything for a fact, it's just how I am viewing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
