It all went downhill once we decided ICs should not only take care of the bureaucracy, but also adapt to supporter roles rather than the other way around. I won't rail against the usefulness of soft skills, but requiring almost every IC to be a well-spoken social butterfly just seems lazy in the face of the ridiculous number of supporting roles.
Ideally it'd be more 50/50 (help-me-help-you kind of deal), but right now it feels incredibly one-sided at most places.
