How old are you? All it takes is one bad experience to show you the emperor has no clothes. Corporations, executives, and middle managers are almost by definition self interested and short sighted.

Just look at the over hiring during covid and the methods used to cull that workforce after they realized their mistake. Back handed and inhumane. Executives are more followers than a junior dev is. They just have a lot more terminology to obscure that fact. But they are basically professional bullshitters, like consultant firms.

This is excluding executives with vision. But the market and corporate structure bias towards eliminating those leaders as they are not consistently profitable over every month.
