Incompetent compared to what? Let’s say that a lot of people are incompetent at their jobs. You can solve that by making jobs easier, so that anyone can do them but that isn’t a nett benefit because now the difficult jobs aren’t being done at all. Even though some people could do them. Meaning their talents would be wasted.
So maybe the system compromises between doing difficult things and doing things competently. Maybe that’s an overall optimisation.
