I don't know why you think a "real" industry would work in the most idealized way. The media heavily reports on the stupid insane crap of the tech industry, that doesn't mean every other industry is sane they're just not as vocal on Twitter.
Having worked in electronics, mechanics and software engineering the latter is definitely the insane clown show of the three.
With the others sure you have some craziness once in a while but you are still being constrained by the real world and solid engineering principles.
