Because growth always adds entropy.
Every new product, integration, or business line introduces new edge cases, dependencies, and coordination paths. What starts as a clean architecture turns into a network of overlapping constraints - legacy data formats, different latency expectations, regulatory quirks, “temporary” patches that become permanent.
You can manage complexity for a while, but you can’t eliminate it. Every layer that simplifies work for one team usually adds hidden coupling for another. Over time, the system stops being a single design and becomes an ecosystem of compromises.
