The only thing that trumps good decision making is ego. I suspect a non zero amount of this is ego driven, be it either from middle management to upper management or c-suite need to exert some control. I can't for the life of me figure out why otherwise. Especially organizations that are clearly still demonstrating success. They don't have the supporting metrics for this and they know, and the employees know it, and by some extension, the public knows it now too.
