I see this regularly at small companies, too. They add process they think is necessary but don't have the human resources necessary to ensure these don't become blockers.

It's usually a result of cargo-culting: companies think that if they imitate what the big boys are doing they'll see the same kind of success. You also see that with hiring practices or adopting technology such as microservices or Kubernetes which are overkill for their real needs.

It's called: arbitrary. Someone in power makes up a new rule or policy based on what they think. Authoritarian government.
