All systems are hardwired to live as long as possible, even if they aren't beneficial. Unhelpful systems that are essentially parasites on the people that operate within them will not simply fade away quietly when it's discovered that they are no longer relevant.
Parasites thrive when slowly leeching off of the hosts. When killed off, they release toxins (Parasites trick hosts to avoid death) in a last ditch effort to stay alive.
Similarly, parasitic systems like abusive spouses, large nation states, fiat currencies or school systems will not simply die quietly. As soon as they are threatened, they will start to release all sorts of toxins into the system to scream as loudly as possible that it's better to not kill them off, but to go back to the way things were - slowly leeching the host of their resources.
Chronic low-level discomfort is better than an acute market crash (Stock Market as Immune System).
