I have seen how it multiplies out in traditional engineering.
One guy/girl was doing stuff, might be quite a bit, so it's decided it is really needing 2.something people, so they send two more, because you can't have part of a person.
Then they need a manager, and a doc controller and maybe an admin. Then the service people need a manager, and you need a manager of the managers, and they needs an assistant and who knows who else, maybe a HR and next thing know what one person was doing is all of a sudden a ten person team.
And instead of going to just talk to someone in another team, it's no "my manager will confirm with your manager" etc etc
I worked in one place where to send a document to the guy in the next office from me for official review had to go through a document control office in a another country. That was not unusual, apart from being unusually frustrating and time wasting.
