    And so did you.

I mainly did as I was told. In large political organisations following your own vision can be problematic. You have to fight for a vision.
I've no idea why using IPC to send megabytes of data between different processes is wrong. That is what many service-orientated architectures do. The moment you have a persistence service it is likely to happen.
Although to be fair we very rarely used pipes, directly, almost never. It was always something like REST or message queues.
