Three reasons. A. Irresponsibility. Paying no attention to anything, they have no clue this is happening and indeed will not even find out what's going on until after it happens. B. Laziness. Knowing it is easier to fix something that has broken than predict where something is going to break, they voluntarily decided to let their application break and fix it then. C. Discipline. Having already fixed everything they thought was going to break, they are standing by to make sure they didn't miss anything. Contrary to popular belief, option B is not necessarily bad. We'd all prefer option C, and option A is clearly the Wrong Thing, but option B is actually a smart response to some business conditions.
