I think the big one that no one mentions is management. A company with 100,000 employees, and a reporting span of 10 people then you have 11,111 managers - and as they tend to get paid more upwards of 25-30% of the salary.
And what do they do? Administration and process? Easily automatable. Hiring and firing (teams do this better), "magically know what to do in uncertain times" (guess my views). A lot of this can be replaced with high trust, open environments and "team empowerment"
