The practical power of the executives (or, more pertinent, the HR bureaucrats) over the corporate culture as a whole is real but limited. In theory, they can do whatever they want; in practice, both their visibility into the real situation on the ground, and their ability to carry out initiatives, are limited by the cooperation of their subordinates. There's not really any amount of power at the top that can change this; the only remedy is to either convince the entire management chain to willingly cooperate, or else replace them. And companies' ability to actually replace long-time employees is fairly limited.
There certainly exist companies where the existing management structures allow for full HRification of the entire culture. It's not remotely true of every company, and most companies where it's not true don't have any realistic path (or any real appetite) for getting there.
