I personally don't believe this at all. I think it's almost entirely bureaucratic inertia, and a prisoner's dilemma among the management. One who bloats, floats.

This is the truth. Many managers are valued on how large they can grow their team. Also, if you have 10, 20, 100 direct reports .... how can they fire you?
