Honestly find this hilarious, and a sign of the low experience levels prevalent across the industry, with inflated titles etc. What should happen in these situations, is someone with enough experience should be able to say this isn't working as well as previous ways, and guide to more sensible practices that suit that companies situation. This is very hard when 'everyone is a senior' and 'i read this blogpost lets cargo cult it'.. The older crafts industries had masters, journeymen, and apprentices, in a more hierarchical structure, and while more rigid led to much less of the kind of massive waste of effort your post talks about where 'Almost no one could get anything useful done' .. which you've seen at multiple companies!
