Right. But what about the cases it is used for good?

In many environments it ends up acting like a generic "don't build things" mandate. Such a mandate's wins are by accident more often than by target, and it does more harm than good.

  • I mean, this is way too vague to really talk about usefully, but like, adding some friction to certain processes can be pretty useful.

    • While that is true, the current default situation in the US is way too far on the anti-build side.
