I'm feeling grumpy and decaffinated this morning, so I'll just note that you can't sell books and courses and conferences on "balance and nuance".

The key thing is you can set the parameters so that whatever you're selling happens to fall squarely in the middle. And of course anything can be common sense so long as you can successfully ridicule the alternatives and describe your solution in a way that sounds plausible(ish).
That's why anything that provides a recipe, like scrum, OKRs and so forth, will get sold as a solution for all of our problems. And inevitably lazy people will follow it.
It ALWAYS depends on the context in which these processes are in, but most don't want to spend real time figuring this out. Just adopt what Google, Spotify (squads anyone?), <insert hyped company here> uses.
