I had the same opinion and tried to do this.

Spent a decade in big tech surrounded by dysfunction, pushing truly innovative tech through the muck to release and expending significant effort to clean the muck as I went for myself and others. Now I'm just burnt out, jaded, and trying to exit tech altogether.

At the end of the day if a direct line cannot be drawn between a problem (or its solution) and revenue, then management doesn't care and are not capable of filling in that line in their minds. And if you fill it in for them, you'll get at most a pat on the back.
