> as long as you have a structured, rules based system there is no need for bureaucrats.

Bureaucrats consider, implement, and modify the structured, rules based systems our society comes up with.

what you write is true, but very concerning.

in theory, laws and policies are crafted by elected officials or experts, and bureaucrats are just the executors. but in reality, bureaucracies interpret, refine, and sometimes even reshape these rules through policy implementation. this is where a lot of inefficiency, red tape, and unintended consequences creep in.
