This is the most likely explanation. Hanlon's razor is not relevant anymore, it's actually the opposite these days.
People who don't want to see this reality are just polezniye duraki that further allow the corrupt people in charge to get away with it.
Slightly derailing the topic, one only has to take a look at US goverment budget for like 0.001 secs to see how deep this problem goes. There are invoices like $500 a piece for a fastener.
The duraki will come up to say "oh but that's probably a fastener that has to be created in space from the rarest material available to be used in an extremely sensitive physics experiment". It's not and you're making a fool of yourself. The real purpose of those fasteners is to get someone a new condo in Miami.
They’re downvoted because there’s no evidence of corruption. Their assumption is based on false information.
> There are invoices like $500 a piece for a fastener.
Please provide an example of this fantastic claim including the accounting methodology.
The example that comes to my mind is the $10,000.00 toilet seat. That turns out to have been three toilet seats for the C-5 that had to be custom made because they were no longer available. They are now 3-D printed for $300.00. These numbers don’t explain what was involved in making the $10,000.00 one, how it was installed, or how long it lasts.
This was a 5 minute Google Search, I can guarantee there's much more overspending going on. Oh wait ... yeah, why would one believe me if I haven't performed a detailed audit of all US Govervement expenses and published it to support my claim? Oh no, you got me this time ;).

It's just corruption.
