Services such as these do exist, but I believe there is a social/mental stigma to them, in addition to any cost barrier. A lot of people think “this will never happen to me” or “maybe I will need this when I’m older, but not now.”

The first few seasons are great TV! Admittedly, I’m struggling to finish the most recent season as it isn’t as good as the early seasons. I wholeheartedly recommend this series for the great cast and interesting subject matter (NY based financial, legal, political)!
I understand this take and the frustration it is born out of, however, extremes are rarely the right answer. If this were a series of posts, I would gladly read along and expect that the author would learn some valuable lessons from this approach.
Are certain things often needlessly complex? Sure. Does that come at a cost? Sure.
However as a business (or deployment) grows, it becomes subject to more requirements, regulations, risks, etc. that often demand the complexities that the industry and author have witnessed.
All business decisions are made through a lens. What is important today? Based on what I know today, what does the future hold? What constraints do I have? The key is a logical, but balanced decision.
