The biggest reason software turns into a tangled mess is trying to use a single, jumbo-sized model for a real-world concept across the entire system. This "one-size-fits-all" approach leads to bloated, brittle code where everything is uncomfortably coupled together.
Instead, models should be defined by their capabilities within a specific context. A "customer" in the billing department is different from a "customer" in shipping, and your code should reflect that to stay clean and maintainable.
