Why exactly do Enterprisons tend to following this guidelines so precisely? Is this some kind of self-destruction mechanism built into their "dna"?

More likely it is the other way around -- the OSS choose to use these strategies because they were already prevalent in the organizations.

As for why they were prevalent? CYA. Surely you are not going to fire a manager who insist on inclusivity and following security protocols?

Everything proceeds from order to chaos unless energy is expended to restore order, once the accumulation of disorder exceeds the organisms ability to repair the damage the organism begins to die until eventually it's life support systems fail.

Rational capitalists know this as the business cycle and that once an organization begins to die the point is not to restore it but to extract as much value from it before it dies. The clueless are essential to this process as they are key to helping the sociopaths extract value from the losers.

Ribbonfarm does an excellent job of outlining organizational life cycles in the Gervais principle series.

Oh, wow, "Enterprisons." You're quite witty and original, I must say.
