It's optimising for the success of the person who does the planning.

  It depends on the company. Especially in smaller companies, the success of the manager is very much tied to the success of the whole company, but yeah, in bigger enterprises it's often like you said. I have found that sometimes (!) imposing an artificial timeline can bring the whole team together if done correctly. I've been in situations where projects weren't finished for a long time, everyone just cruised along, because there was no timeline and time to market was "when it is done". And there were always more important things to ship. This is bad for company and everyone involved... Just ship it, then iterate.
