This is a bit abstract, but I think this has to do with processes and liability. Whenever there is a problem people look for someone to blame. The easiest thing is to create a new process to avoid this in the future, and be protected against blame. If this proceeds unchecked, the process grows and grows until every little thing takes forever. The processes need to be pruned sometimes too, not just added onto.
