Why do bureaucrats have an incentive to make their own work harder? How do you explain then how easier is to do taxes in bureaucratic Europe compared with the USA?
I will say that the worst burocracy is created when private companies meddle with the government affairs.

Creating more work and harder work does the opposite, it allows them more security. Even if it doesn't mean they want to make more work (like how most developers wouldn't maliciously add bugs to create more work), it does mean the incentive to make less work without a way to preserve oneself is extremely low.

Who decides what of those they will do is their bosses (usually, politicians). If you go ask them what they prefer, you may be surprised. Or maybe not, if you go imagining they are humans.
