Although plausible, and part of it, it's not just that. The second part is much more important (people unwilling to adapt), but one should think about why.

  • How sudden & drastic was the change?
  • How well trained were people?
  • How much support did they get when something went wrong?

That's the kind of stuff where companies & public administrations usually suck, "change management".
