Its unfortunately even worse than that, in my opinion. Security is making computers not do things. Software engineers spend much of their day trying to make computers do new things. It is almost necessary that security work adds friction to other work. So not only is it often difficult to measure the actual impact of a security mitigation, it is often possible (or even easy) to measure the friction caused by a security mitigation. You really need everybody to believe in the necessity of a mitigation or else it becomes incredibly easy to cut.
