So, why are we this high up? 
BPMN is the Cobol of the new millenium!
Easily readable by a manager, and
Clearly expresses observable intent, but 
Darn near impossible for a manager to write! 
BPEL is not understandable to managers, but need not be, because it only implements the BPMN observables.
It might be argued that BPEL caused clouds as we know them, by justifying their use.
