The VMS product managers at Digital figured this out in about 1985. VMS was horrendously configurable, with all sorts of system settings to tweak.
As I recall, product management forced the issue by making it so the dev team didn't have access to their own machines to tweak parameters. It didn't take long in VAX years for the OS to become more self-configuring. It was a draconian approach, but helped customer satisfaction.
