This works well if your company culture doesn’t abhor an IC or manager trying to push for improvements in places that are not their responsibility.
Unfortunately there are a lot of places that do dislike this - and it may result in you getting fired instead of promoted :)
Sounds like a company set up for failure.
In some cases, yeah, but in others it just sounds like a company with a lot of regulatory constraints and a strong "need to know" culture. Internal moat building often reflects in their business model as well. Not that I'd like to work in that environment, but I've seen it work and work well.
