Unfortunately, there's being plain, old incompetent dumb, and being deliberately-on-purpose dumb. I'm going with the second.

It's a safe bet that they spend 99% of their careers on monotonous grunt work (where, after a time, complacency is almost expected); highly intelligent and/or truly creative types would quickly become bored with this line of work. And when the balloon finally goes up, those there are overwhelmingly drones.
