Is this the same reason you wouldn’t pick up trash on the floor?

Trash on the flor has a known quick solution, a broken coffee machine doesn't and the fix often needs to be coordinated or you easily call in multiple people to repair it etc.

In general if a task needs to be coordinated you shouldn't try to do it yourself, at best you should notify a coordinator but usually they are already aware of it and you are just spamming them.

Picking up trash from the floor does not require special tools, and does not void the warranty of the floor.
What kind of weird fantasy is this?
