I don't think that the "low-level" workers' viewpoints are accidentally ignored, it's far more likely that the decision-makers at the top actively don't want change.
The upside? Minimal (for them personally.. huge for the country). The downside? Anything "bad" happens, they're fired or worse (e.g. a stack of containers collapses, killing someone). Very asymmetric returns.
On the other hand, Twitter publicity both forces them to do something (bad press if they don't), and also excuses them in case anything goes wrong ("well I thought it was a bad idea but they pressured me to do it"). CYA in action.
