I have also done this, and I can't say I agree. This is certainly one issue but the real issue is that these companies are not run by tech people. The tech is simply another cost center and gets no vote on how things are run. Many tech firms have equal amounts of redundancy but still manage not to have such terrible software

This is a huge problem, I agree, but it's not why the redundancy and HA get built the way it does. That's still coming from IS in the orgs I've had exposure too. The business side would rather we do things quicker and easier and not put as many technical roadblocks to vendor selection and build roadmaps.
