The iron laws of bureaucracy are:
1) Nothing else matters but the budget
2) Over the long run, the people invested in the bureaucracy always win out over the people invested in the mission/point
Science is just as susceptible to 2) as anything else.

Another solution is the opposite, no skin in the game

Salaries without skin in the game leads to failure. People just trade for their own benefit within and outside the system.
It happens everywhere.
The only solution to this is skin in the game. Without skin in the game the fraudsters fraud, the audience just naively goes along with it, and the institution collapses under the weight of lies.
