Very true. My favorite example of this is academia. When you do a MSc everything seems nice and some things feel a bit weird but it is what it is. Then over time you realize how misaligned the incentives are with what is actually useful for the general population. But the whole system is writing with much jargon and emphasizing that they followed all procedures and peer-review. So the population thinks it must be useful, or at least cannot point out why it isn’t.
