We have seen cases where people are rewarded on product teams by adding more features, more functions as a way to justify their existence and to make themselves or to be seen as smarter.
Simplicity is not rewarded - because its, well, too simple. Some of this translates to how well the team gels and if there are common design goals to shoot for. Add to this, out of the box vendor solutions that have their own personalities and you can end up with a nice soup. Then the product is put in front of users and the business comes to realize that they need to change the product if they want to the product to fly in the field. And round and round we go :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
