It depends entirely on how much autonomy and motivation you have. I have to do all of that for my own modest product, but it's only viable because I have complete autonomy to decide what the most efficient approach would be... and I enjoy it. This isn't typically how it plays out when you start a new job for someone else. Which means they won't reap the rewards of your experience until enough trust has been built to give you the autonomy to make it happen (this may never happen). So it takes time, and not everyone wants to take that time or can see the benefit, and arguably in the startup space there may not be enough runway for it either.
