It's strange how obsessed software engineers are about methods of working. So you are surprised that a bunch of people whose work is to create mental models and automate them are obsessed with creating mental models of their own work and automate it? It's fascinating, but at the same time I wish it was all simpler. Actually it is, IMHO. A lot of the parafernalia around the job is useless obsession indeed. We're just that way for good or bad.
