> What world are you living in that corporations actively want their employees to work slowly or to have too many employees?

Many companies are risk-averse and prefer predictability to performance. They therefore often choose slow and outdated software products instead of newer, more efficient ones and they prefer using tools that require large amounts of developers, but in a predictable fashion. Using a tool that allows a very small team to perform the job of 10x as many is risky because the bus factor becomes that much higher, as well as the difficulty in finding and training replacements.
