"Now there are hundreds (thousands?) of large enterprises that slurp up ambitious individuals and put them in charge of important things."
I'm not sure I agree with that...
They slurp up ambitious people, put them in charge of something, work hard to convince them it's important, layer endless amounts of bureaucracy on top and around them, and pay them just enough to make sure they don't leave - I think this may be more accurate...

That's tech monopolies (FAANG etc.), which have more money than sense. In the normal businesses, there's hardly any busywork, because the relatively low margins don't allow for it.
