"why does persistent IT incompetence on this scale (and with no improvement in sight) seem not to matter to the people who pay the IT budgets?"

It is, perhaps, because people who know how computers work, generally don't work in computer administration any more, they move on to higher paying jobs like programmers.

There are few exceptions like that game company where the employee handbook leaked recently. They had a system where you had desks with wheels you could move around by yourself. As soon as you plugged it in on your new location the floor plans would automatically get updated.

Since most IT-departments are horribly bad at what they are doing, most people have never experienced a good IT-department, which means that they don't demand it to be actually usefull. Good IT is to rarely seen as an enabler of success and an effective motivator of your staff.
