I don't think it's this half of the situation that people get confused by. What's confusing is that giant companies don't take a more sophisticated approach to things (or at least, many don't).
I work in quite a senior position at a big company and my boss sent an email several weeks back to me and other managers that was basically just 'we have lots of money left, send me your wishlists'. You would think that the company would realise what's happening when every year every department orders a bunch of fancy expensive tech in December, but it seems not...
