Are these issues with IT or with corporate bureaucracy?

Is there anything about IT that specifically amplifies these issues, or are there similar issues in other contexts which aren't IT-related?

IMO it's easy to blame the technology. But when virtually all individual corporate tooling relies on IT, there's no real control group to provide an alternative.

A lot of the problems listed below sound like they could be solved relatively easily - if the will was there, and if the corporate relationships around them didn't promote bureaucratic non-solutions because of turf wars, irrational policy, lack of effective oversight, and so on.
