Some of it absolutely seems like fluff or stating the obvious. That being said, the majority of the organizations out there do not walk the walk. Especially in product management, the actual product or output lacks a soul or purpose. I'd say that the majority of traditional companies and startups all suffer from this problem.

I've even worked at places with successful products where this mindset is missing, and the success is by accident or proxy to more solid endeavors.

Alignment with vision matters too. Too many companies are like many-headed hydras, where a role like Engineering SREs understand the value proposition and missing pieces of a product or offering better than the actual product management team and executive sponsor.

It's easy to say it's remedial, but it's more difficult for companies to actually live it and be successful because of it. Source: I seen't it.
