Doesn't deemphasizing estimates acknowledge and imply that the estimate is delivering whatever the boss (I mean, Product Owner) wants, when they want it? Possibly with the ineffective filter of bullying and misleading the team into some imprudent commitment instead of simply ordering?

For example, between 2011 and 2020 the Product Backlog items lost the estimate: it means that if that feature is late it is the fault of a struggling developer, not of a superficial planner.
