The Disneyland-like software companies you describe are that way because they must signal success, coolness, etc in order to attract employees to hire, investors to write checks, customers to sign up, etc. In another word, it’s a cost of doing business.
Hospitals (I’m assuming you’re describing public European hospitals) aren’t subject to those pressures - instead, they have to fight for the tiniest bit of budget to replace/fix things that should have been replaced years ago, or to hire enough staff.
If you go to fancy private American hospitals, you will also find that they have the latest TVs/trendy furniture/etc, because they have to signal to wealthy people that they are worth giving their money to.
When you look at how inflated costs are for the latter, I’m not sure it’s a desirable thing.
