The attitude embodied in this is unfortunately common. Delivering a successful product is a lot more than just writing code and shipping features. Planning so that you can launch your marketing efforts, ensuring you have a team ready to support whatever you just shipped, or making sure you don't sign new deals that result in 6 months of work needing to get delivered in the next 2 months are all just as important to the business as the day to day work the developers do. Sometimes being a team player means you are a less effective so that other people are more effective. Jira isn't a perfect tool, but the case would be better made by someone who isn't myopically focused on optimizing a subset of the whole product delivery process.
