Yup. Give people a number or stat to obsess over and they'll obsess over it (while ignoring the more meaningful work like stability and fixing real, user-facing bugs). Over-obsession with KPIs/arbitrary numbers is one of the side-effects of managerial culture that badly needs to die.

Once that has been achieved obsessing over stabilizing a flaky bloat pudding while patching over bugs aka features that annoy any user will have died.
