Am I missing the obvious, why would one seed a dev database from production? If anything, data on dev should exist before production?

People are drawn to strong emotions, positive or negative. It could be anger, fear, joy, cuteness, anything that evokes our lizard brain. It is orthogonal to making the world a better place IMO

Quick searching doesn't yield my "why don't you use" - migration cost. Unless a tool is bringing in functions never used before, e.g. Jira to a team where project management was non-existent, otherwise there are at least
