I very much agree and I've seen that a lot in large companies. I really like how Bain explains it: "growth creates complexity; complexity kills growth". They talk about in The Founder's Mentality: https://media.bain.com/the-founders-mentality/

I also agree about your point on ownership and responsibility. That's why I like Amazon's principle of Single Threaded Leaders.
