Heck, you made that point yourself in the last post.
The problem with your assessment of business is that it carries the unspoken assumption that businesses are some kind of monolith, and that decisions are made the same way for the same reasons everywhere.
There are thousands of businesses, making thousands of different decisions for different reasons.
One company may automate a warehouse. Another may automate it but arrange backup procedures. A third may not automate at all. A fourth may come up with something new you hadn't thought of. And so on.
The decisions work in some cases, and fail in others. Often for wildly different reasons. The overall economy keeps going, same as your warship could keep going if one generating system failed, or the fleet could operate if one ship is lost.

Robustness and flexibility are only antithetical if you're talking about a centralized system.
