Have you ever considered that the cause was 2007, and that someone made a little known hentai site for people to post content on, with this work being the first release posted on it:

In what way? Reading the comments in the video I posted, most complaints boiled down to two points. First, that the film exaggerated everything, which is a "
No shit Sherlock" level complaint. And, second, that the Bradley is actually a "useful vehicle" because "
It's been used for so long", however, omitting that, according to every soldier that has ever used a Bradley, the only reason why the tank has been so widely used is thanks to the fact that the U.S. has only had to fight terrorists and insurgents.
Not, an actual army. If they were to send a bunch of Bradleys into a real war, they'd be bringing a knife to a gun fight as they enemy would just mow them down due to the tank having design flaws that were never fixed in the first place.

It's gotten worse over the past couple of decades due to how there's an increasing amount of paper-pusher generals who haven't left Washington and only care about benefiting their career.

Why not both? Though, according to people who have worked for companies are are contracted with the government (Like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, or even in the architecture and software industry), it's quite often latter, with a suit, government or civilian, to walk right in when the project in more than 75% completed and demand that they scrap everything for a new model or add a feature that requires for them to bring everything back to the drawing board. In fact, to relate this to gaming, that's exactly what happened with the
Phantom Dust reboot:

And
Scalebound, however there's less straight-forward sources for that:
