Indeed.

But first of all, organisation and infrastructures are supposed to have a
purpose.

Already in the phase where their entire effort is mainly devoted to keep
themselves going, they become pretty similar to rockets designs which do not
deliver any useful payload to orbit, or corporations who manage to support
their costs and pay salaries, but have no prospective of ever paying a
dividend to shareholders.
