There’s a figure of speech in Dutch: “Iedereen bevoegd, niemand verantwoordelijk”. Roughly translates to: “everyone has authority, then no one is responsible”.

It happens at every large organization, especially governments.

Buzzy bees inventing buzzy work, titles, task forces, drama, etc. When all goes well they applaud themselves. When things go south, they delay, point at each other, which is very effective.

It demotivates the people that actually do stuff. Untill they stop caring. Then things break down over a couple years time.

It’ll take a crisis larger than this to cull and change. Pointing fingers will work once more.
