I wonder how many of those desk jobs actually create value though.
Some paper pushing asshole working for the government demands some paper bullshit. Some other paper pushing asshole working for bigco produces said paper. Is value actually created? Perhaps there's some risk mitigation but enough to justify their respective wages? And the need to push that paper back and forth locks the little guy out of competing in that market.
Yeah, it'll suck for a lot of people in the interim. But that will also put downward price pressure on a ton of things who's cost makes other value producing things not worth doing. If legal, design, engineering, etc, etc, services are made cheap in the "boring" cases then that becomes competitive advantage for the buyers which over time trickles down to their buyers and their buyers.

And the need to push that paper back and forth locks the little guy out of competing in that market. Probably a minuscule (<5%) amount? Think about it. In a 100 person tech company, how many people do you think is doing legal/compliance/security? More than 5?
