Because they're idiots. There is no "ahahahahah, we are deliberately doing stupid stuff as part of a sinister plot". They're just doing stupid stuff naturally, because they are stupid.

Like, the hiring process is pretty much "who shows most loyalty to Dear Leader"; one would not _expect_ competence.

Classic supervillain mistake - hiring incompetent minions. Sure, they're loyal. But they don't work.
