It's a little hard to follow you but it still sounds like this to me: there's a problem I am seeing, others are "bad" for not fixing it but I am "justified" in doing nothing. So it's not surprising nothing gets done.
For what it's worth, my strategy has always been to grapple with these situations. Sometimes you get to have impact and learn in the process: eg how do I communicate about this problem in a way that gets traction? If you can do it, you will "level up" in your career.
Alternatively you may learn why things being as they are is a reasonable trade-off for the situation you are in. This may also level you up by helping you think on "what makes sense for the business" rathe than simply "I don't like it" level.
At worst, you'll have a story for your next interview about how you tried and failed to make a big improvement like this. I have a similar story and it resonates really well for senior roles.
