Once an idea gets approved at all, the profit-driven system then drives that design to exhaustion, to its logical limits. Also, see: giant trucks with the hood the height of your shoulder.

They only find out when they go a step too far - the Airbus that could fly 800 people did not make money, they'd finally gone Too Big.
