That’s a pretty remarkable leap you’ve made from 2-3. Coordinating activities across large organisations is hard.

I see what you mean and you're not wrong. However given that you hire good senior engineers and that you trust them, most companies can resolve these issues. Coordinating activities is a project manager's thing which should have to do with gantt diagrams and not with micro-managing engineers. Very few companies are having complex software similar to OS, therefore being in need of the management that you're referring to. It's astonishing how managers responsible for building a button are reading the mythical man month and think they are the same.
