Everyone with any responsibility for picking any software in a company will work very hard to make things harder and more expensive, rather than easier.
People will ask for a 100k-year app, or whatever is the Ferrari of their business. If they don't get it, they will ask for the complex features they saw in that 100k-year software package, even if they won't use it.
If it internal software, they will ask you to develop it. If it's another vendor, they will complain until they get what they want, increasing the cost. If it's vibe-coded, they will try to prompt that until it becomes a mess.
I had this with all sorts of people: HR, Sales, translators, artists, marketers, data analysts, testers. Even software engineers are obsessed with having the "most complete" in the shape of Amazon AWS and things like that.
The only situation where I didn't see this happening was in startups where people are actually busy.
FWIW you still see this, it just tends to not survive for too long.
I haven't seen any company recover from that, ever. Once they balloon to 250, 500, 1000, 2000 employees, any attempt to recover by injecting new blood is futile, you only burn out the new blood and enrages the people in the new culture. Then it dies.
This happened to a company I worked for, whose domain just expired this week, I will probably purchase them.
