Maybe to you, but unless your business is 100% IT focused (like a software startup), I guarantee you that virtually nobody outside of the dev team knows what version control is, let alone the cost-benefit considerations.

A surgeon doesn't ask the patient whether to use antiseptic or latex gloves.

An engineer doesn't ask the client if the concrete should need steel reinforcing or not.

The lawyer doesn't ask the defendant if he should reference precedent.

The developer shouldn't ask the business for permission to automate their workflow.
