I work in regulated industry and you really don’t want the level of scrutiny regulated processes have in other industries. Innovation would slow down to a crawl or pretty much stop. In a lot of industries you can make trade offs quality vs speed or innovation and be better off by not having perfect quality.

I strongly agree. However to my experience companies decide on quality vs speed based on other factors rather than business needs. For example, in my previous job, CTO called “ overengineering” whenever something went against his will, while “innovation/we are not a Corp” was his tail wind. So much office politics for such a small company :/
