I think business types vs technical types inherently have different perspectives especially for american companies. One has the "get it done at all costs" the other has "this can't be done since impossible/it will break this".

When a company moves from engineering/technical driven to sales/profit/stock price/shareholders satisfaction driven, once it was not possible to cut (technical) corners, now becomes the de facto. If you push the L7s/L8s out of the discussion room, who would definitely stop or veto circular dependencies, and replace with sir-yes-sir people, now you've successfully created short term KPI wins for the lofty chairs but with a burning fuse of catastrophic failures to come.
