I think one of the problems is that a lot of the management methods are built for the lowest common denominator. Juniors and mediocre developers who "need" direction and strict structure. Micro management is easier than creating a culture where developers are empowered to make independent decisions, based on shared goals and understanding. At some point talented developers grow out of that role and start looking for an escape.

But I see the same everywhere at many levels. There seems to be some effort to "commoditise" development. Nice idea, but only really the committed expertise and resources of Microsoft or equivalent could achieve this - all other attempt devolve to some form of micromanagement.
