I know it is quite common, but the culture is the problem. The "leadership" in this piece have interests that are almost orthogonal to that of the engineer. The company is structured top-down, leading to a "it must become true because I said so" mentality, and probably the incentives of the people involved don't align either. Management doesn't have to care about that, because they're not incentivized to. When the wrong people get into that chain, these things happen. And worse too: in other industries, managers regularly override safety concerns.
