But why would anyone want that? I agree that this would result, but my takeaway is "and therefore we shouldn't do that".

My guess is that a lot of CEO's already consider the implementation details of their companies' software systems as opaque. So that is essentially a pre-existing market for performative but opaque systems. CEO's. CFO's. Shareholders, etc. Even in engineering organizations. Look at how Boeing and NASA both demoted critical engineering concerns when external concerns became overwhelmingly more important to their leaders. Now factor in the models actually doing a good job, checking each other, and generally getting better year to year.
