Most organizations have horribly convoluted organizational structures and processes, and SAP has been shaped by those customers over the years to cater to those clusterfucks.
A clean, sensible ERP system can only work if the organization it serves is also sensibly organized. It is much easier (and less risky) for a company to choose an ERP system that caters to them, warts and all, rather than overhaul the way it conducts business.
As the old saying goes, SAP and its customers deserves each other.

Now what does this say, about LIDL, a discounter who dumped 500 m with SAP? https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252446965/Lidl-dumps-500m-SAP-project https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252446965/Lidl-dumps-500... Basically, if your buisness process match that of SAP, everything is fine, if not, good riddance. Or in the words of a former SAP manager about Lidl: “They don’t have the right level of business engagement” Meaning they did not adapt to SAP enough.
