Tooo many h1bs!
Typical of older bigger companies treating their IP as a cash cow and not innovating. Outsourcing technology also allowed 3rd world countries to leap frog forward. Combined with an ever lazier western workforce it was inevitable.

Greed. Sloth. Pride. Gluttony.

When Intel stuck on 14nm the core of innovation (FAB Process) the industry and world walked on by. When Intel lead the industry by 1-2 nodes the innovation trickled down into each and every group. IBM in those times always had a small lead but never at high enough volumes to supply the industry.

@OP
Most employees from top to bottom thought it is fine to do bare minimum work not to get fired and “hoping” other people will work smarter and harder to keep their paycheck going.
Fast forward few years later the products started to show that they were no longer competitive and competition caught up.
It is not easy to give up the mentality to slack once it is a habit.
Most people who were doing actual work and heavy lifting already moved on.
