It’s worth noting that this is a learned behavior which is not natural for many people.
There are plenty of people who will naturally think about a problem in context and want to solve for the problem and not just the metric.
Those people will be slower to satisfy management demands which will be metric driven, and in order to progress in their careers will learn to focus on the requirement and not the problem.
