Part of QA used to be evaluating whether a change was actually helpful in doing the thing it was supposed to be doing.
... why, it's almost like in eliminating the QA function, we removed the final checks and balances on developers (read: PMs) from implementing whatever ass-backwards feature occurs to them.
Just in time for 'AI all the things!' directives to come down from on high.
