I agree with you.
Software development is a highly people-driven environment. You can introduce something in your process (e. g. a new framework) but the feedback comes only a year later when it becomes evident that the framework hasn’t been a good fit or was introduced poorly (e. g. team members are quitting, productivity has plummeted, tech debt has piled up).
