When suitable alternatives exist, duplication with complexity is a subconscious tendency to ensure job security. It happens everywhere. If we were to completely deduplicate technology and effort by ruthlessly promoting standardization, there would be only one instruction set architecture, one compiler, one operating system, and many fewer programming languages. The paradox of choice, especially unlimited choice, is tyranny of a different kind than monoculture. Also, there must be review of the work of so-called "architects" so they do not form a hated cadre of useless idea guys.
