The reality is the business needs estimates for a couple of reasons. Prioritization (which features do we work on), resource planning (if I want to get x done in the next 6 months how many devs do I need), client communication (when will very important feature X be delivered). And no amount of organizational dysfunction will change that.
One of the biggest issues is that commitment dates and probably take this long i.e. prioritization times get muddled. And the possible solutions are buffer your prioritization times to turn them into commitment times or be explicit with the business about that.
