> But our findings point to a more alarming hypothesis: that most companies ineffectively deploy their development teams, bogging down engineers with distractions, disruptions, and meetings as well as system inefficiencies, such as slow reviews, slow builds, and bad tools.
So what they are saying (presumably to company managements/executives) is that you can make your developers code more per day by adopting better tooling ("perhaps buy our products?"). To me, this sounds like a classic "manufacture anxiety then selling solutions" scheme.
It is also worth noting that the "developers spent most of the time thinking" argument against the claimed statistic won't stand when companies need to lay off the "low performers" based on how much time they spent coding --- after all, were you able to come up with the right solutions more quickly, you will be able to spend more time coding implementing them.
