I agree with essentially everything you said. I'm fortunate enough that the average tenure on/in my team/org is 4-5 years, and we have pretty low turnover - so we actually can at least try to prioritize long term goals. Anecdotally I've seen some nasty feedback loops elsewhere that have caused business objectives to be missed, and lots of people to quit or move. At it's base, it's a culture issue - which like you alluded to comes from the top and is a long term struggle.
