This is true, but I think things like DDD provide an antidote (or at least, some pressure to organize along different dimensions).
If you are explicitly talking about business domains and bounded contexts, then you can see areas where the Alice/Bob split is not optimal (typically, lots of team coupling across org boundaries). Without those concepts I think it is easier to justify arbitrary political/territorial org structures.
There is no panacea; one can always provide contorted justifications for things. But I think having a framework really helps, and particularly, having one that includes business stakeholders and not just pure technical functions.
