Not sure of your point. When I read the rest of your comment, it seems like you agree with me: saying you did not progress as a dev is not such a big deal for non-devs (3 in 4), and when it was, it was because the reasons are surprising (having too much meetings when the company tries hard to reduce the meeting invites to ask more questions to understand why there is disconnect between the objective and the reality).
