The world can be surprisingly misaligned with logic or efficiency. Feature bloat and UI reshuffling are bad things. They make the product more complicated for its users and distract from the core product-market fit that makes products successful in the first place. But the job of software teams is to ship. Once the product it in a good place, the shipping doesn’t stop. It would take a strong leader to say, “enough is enough, stop bloody shipping!” I think leadership with the quality and confidence to do that is rare, more likely leaders live under fear that someone else is going to unseat them, another product, another person, and so, feeling like the bear is always chasing them, never stop running.
