The entire structure is not value oriented.
The technical people want to solve technical problems and don't give a fuck about the company mission. The immediate management wants to improve the measurable recurrent tasks and don't even think about supporting anything different. The top management wants to cut jobs, minimize the need for competency, cut costs, minimize flexibility and lean time to think about non-recurrent tasks because IT is a cost center.
The result is that all of those problems you point get solved. That's not the issue. But nothing of value is allowed to exist.
