Defending and perpetuating the power structure is what institution building is. If you won't be a steward of the dominant institutions, then you're not an extension of its power, your a transgressor to it.

"Thinking outside the box" is cute virtue signalling but honestly that's what gets you kicked to the curb.

It will always be that way for any established entity because that act is fundamentally one of disestablishment

Completely agree. The only way to get power or money is to have the people who have power or money want give you some. The owner/leader of a company will only give power to others if it is necessary and they are sufficiently similar to themself.
