There’s that, sure. But that’s also because everyone is way too happy to add another new system to the pile. Large enterprises generally have only so many business functions. I can get to about 100 necessary systems before feeling like they’re redundant. And all these people have been given fodder by the microservices revolution.

> Large enterprises generally have only so many business functions. Well, no, the difference in quantity of business functions can be enormous due to duplication. A small business will have an accounting business function, but a large business may have 57 separate accounting business functions due to having operations in different countries, having subsidiaries and mergers&acquisitions (possible multiple concurrently ongoing ones) where you will merge accountings (multiple!) from the new acquisition into yours, but it has not yet happened.
