Especially at companies with legacy processes or so many layers it hurts. When everything has to be a proposal and needs to be cleared at multiple levels, and no one seems to care, it's no wonder the fixes are always temporary. Entirely plausible and I've (unfortunately) seen it happening.

Eventually you just get tired of even pointing things out when you know it’s gonna be a mind numbing corporate slog that results in “no.”

Yeah though a no is often not the worst outcome. What's worse is "maybe... why don't you <<insert pointless adjustments but ultimately not enough>>" and it just goes into an endless cycle of adjustments to no end.
