I feel like that's unfair. It's normal in a company to answer to someone and its normal for that someone to want some way to answer the question "are we on track for X" when asked by their superior (whoever that may be). The larger the company the more that statement becomes true because the number of interconnect for N employees is O(N^2). That does not excuse making the whole thing stupid and painful, but accountability is not an unreasonable request.

Of course! The problem is that this "accountability" is the grease on the slippery slope towards doom. If I need every epic, story, task and subtask to be labelled in the correct way for your organization, then I no longer have an autonomous team that is able to self organize to maximize its own efficiency. If I don't have that, I no longer have agile. There are better ways than turning agile into a caricature of its former self.
