In practice this doesn't work very well in an enterprise, the boxes end up a mix bag of different levels of things, some abstract some concrete, some just random.

So if you need to piece together larger chunks of architecture, a supply chain for example, you basically have to redo it all. There is a lot of waste in this, and no one has a sufficiently clear view of the overall architecture, which leads to other waste and quality issues.

For some reasons most engineers get very defensive about a more formal approach, I suspect mostly because it doesn't immediately benefit them or they haven't had too deal with large scale architecture and don't see the problem.
