The biggest problem is that the people ultimately in charge are the people with the money - the studio exec, the commissioning editor for the network, what have you. These people have often risen through the ranks of the commercial/financial side of the business, but now they're in charge of creative artists. Too many of them don't have the lack of ego to step out of the way and let the artists practice their art.
There's nothing worse, for example, than a TV exec who is in charge of comedy, but isn't actually funny themselves and thinks they are.
