+1 to this. My whole career has been spent with QA teams that behave this way. I worked at a place with a 10 year old legacy product and a 10,000 test case spreadsheet of each manual action a QA tester must perform on that product to greenlight any individual change. Obviously this lead to huge wait times to get anything deployed. Also was pretty amusing to catch all the bugs in production that their exhaustive spreadsheet totally overlooked. Almost as though it did not have value in the first place.
