There are efficient network structures that are not hierarchical and are not trees. Trees have horrible single point of failure characteristics, where one bad node kills an entire branch.
To be fair, they also have the opposite quality wherein one great person can positively affect an entire tree. Many great companies have been built by a great leader positively affecting hundreds or thousands of people.

Well said, because SPOF is the precise problem with managerial hierarchies.
