Yup -- the Valley has been around long enough to get infected by MBAs. Even executives who have an engineering background get their brains eaten by this b-school mindset, where every worker is a cog who falls into performance buckets. Once you internalize that outlook, of course the answer to every problem is more process, more structure, etc.

Naturally the MBAs themselves are indispensable, irreplaceable, special snowflakes.
