I think there's a lot of inefficiency, actually, in a lot of orgs, because devs are highly paid but can't (for whatever reason) be permitted much status at all, which includes other employees whose job it is to do data entry & bureaucratic communication and such that doesn't require a developer's direct input (as having such people to delegate tasks to is a major status thing, nevermind whether it'd make a ton of business sense).
