Dave Digging a Hole - MSP edition

I was recently working with some MSPs.

A substantial number of them have some very interesting structures.

For example, 3 people in top management (CEO, Finance, Account Manager), 3 in Business Development and only 2 Technicians. This sort of setup seems quite common.

It reminds me of the "Dave digging a hole meme" where one poor guy is digging a hole like billy-o while all the management stand around and watch...

Can anyone explain why this sort of structure is so common in the MSP world?
