How cute. I tried your suggestion once. What I got was an overengineered, poorly documented delivery that matched the spec about 50%. Oh, it was also a year late. Sorry, but processes are there for a reason, and the reason is, broadly, that getting an average team of engineers to deliver on time, according to spec and without diving all the way down every overoptimization / navelgazing / random interest / flamewar / framework flavor of the day rabbithole there is is otherwise impossible. With process it becomes at least a tiny bit more akin to herding cats instead of just watching them run amok every which way.

In principle you could have those three if you throw enough resources at them.
