It's not just the managers either. This attitude has seeped deep into developers themselves, to the point endless bike shedding over the smallest details is becoming the status quo. It can easily take 10x the time it would take you otherwise. It is very difficult to justify taking 10x more time. People have cute arguments as to why, but practically every tool common to development lacks significant evidence. I'd argue that's why the endless discussions are so easy to have, too.
