How is it dysfunction to keep your devs focused on the tasks you've already identified as the most important?

I can't imagine how producing a PR for this with test cases, getting it reviewed, then shepherding through a typical QA/Staging/Prod pipeline would take less then a day for any code base of reasonable complexity.

Perhaps it wouldn't literally take 8 hours, but the focus shift of working on this would likely keep a dev from making much progress on other issues that day.

Because software is never that cut and dried. There's what supporters think is important, what PMs think is important, what front-line engineers think is important and what leadership thinks is important.

These priorities are frequently different and their actual impact is quite often disjoint from their position in the organization.

Minimizing turn upkeep (over head) is worthwhile. Ignoring it is ludicrous.
