I'm sure someone has coined a term for it but isn't it just a tendency for rich companies to keep employing more and more people who are adding less and less value so they invent roles, departments, imaginary needs and requirements so that everything gets more expensive, more complicated and slower.
What do you do if your current front page actually works really well with some basic PHP or whatever but you employ x thousand of the world's best developers? You invent new frameworks that are more complicated to solve one problem and create 10 more, you change things so they can be automated even though you can easily afford for people to press a few buttons.
And the worst of all, the need to "stay relevant", which is a sad but real pressure in marketing and can involve really expensive design consultants (new font Twitter?) and sometimes something that is not only very different than before but sometimes much worse.
