I disagree with the absolute framing of 2 and 3. They're not wrong takes, but they're highly dependent on the company stage.

For 2, it's a feature factory below a certain size or market penetration. You will be valuable but you will be anything but calm and relaxed. Research doesn't qualify, talking about Product here.

3, which is Platform and/or maintenance is definitely unsexy until you are a scale up and your software sucks ass since you never maintained it and no amount of infrastructure can save it. Then to grow you become extremely important.

I think you want to consider the company size, the state of the product, and its market fit before making these assertions.

All three are the best and worst jobs to have, it just depends when and where you are.
