I'm not sure why you would describe the entire real world as "problem". Because this is how the real world works, with organizations where the last knowledgeable guy was fired two years ago and now discovers they need to touch that incredibly useful and huge application he wrote ten years ago. I'm aware there's an entire book industry telling how the ideal world should look like but there are also unicorns in every fantasy book yet nobody would judge you for not herding a couple.
