"That's all well and good until one of the "poor choices" land the company with some regulatory failure, loss of data, successful hacking event or in extreme cases, inability to function after an unforeseen event (like a disaster)."
There's no guarantee that having all those stringent procedures, policies and equipment in place will prevent any of those things happening. In fact, if you have one of these mandated IT monocultures, one rogue virus may tick all of those boxes.
