So I have seen another slightly different angle to this (and this applied to me). As companies get bigger org boundaries are a real thing. Engineers who prefer breadth (I contributing across the stack and boundaries) are stymied. And making this kind of impact is really hard unless you have a high enough title but getting there needs a lot of political maneuvering. For these engineers who are more driven by building vs impact management starts to look appealing as side projects may start offering more excitement and challenges than yet another crud service.
