I very much doubt this will happen in practise though, it's probably all driven by profit and I think at the end of the day how much money they can make is probably going to be paramount, above everything else
This suggestion makes complete sense, which is the strongest possible indication that it stands no chance of actually happening. the way jobs are carved up in a newly expanded organisation has a lot to do with favours, the old boys network and informal discussions over dinner and not a lot to do with who is necessarliy best at the job.
