In my experience organizations that end up this way have a very much non blame-free culture. Can be driven by founders that lack technical skills and management experience but have a type-A personality. As a result no one wants to point out a bad decision because the person who made it will get reprimanded heavily. So they go down a path that is clearly wrong until they find a way to blame something external to reset. Usually that's someone who recently left the company or some tool choice.
