That is American corporations in a nutshell. Outsource everything, put layers upon layers, and insulate yourself. Then when fecal matter hits the rotary you can put the blame on others and, at worst, you get fired and there's little to no worry about any sort of legal reprecussion because... well you weren't accountable for the problems in the first place!
It's a massive problem created from little cuts here and there with a few big lawsuits mixed in.
Agree with you, but people on HN and other places tend to flame/heckle companies that don't do this too, aka Elon Musk. Love him or hate him he does things 'his' way without all the seemingly built-in middle layers. I like it as opposed to the HR led office space cosplay, but people seem to want their cake and eat it too.
