Could be but then machine learning doesn't help either.

There's still a lot to fix and automate though with a significant ROI.

Did you know for example that the paperwork required for sending a shipping container from Shanghai to Rotterdam is more expensive than the actual transport of the container itself?

Freight forwarder Maersk considers this to be a painful enough problem to try and solve it with Blockchain technology now (one of the few cases where using a Blockchain actually makes sense because not all participants involved in the process necessarily trust each other).

This is demonstrably false, since it can be said of the problems addressed by any new product, and new products succeed all the time.

Or it is worth fixing but nobody can be bothered to collect/review the data showing the cost of doing nothing.
