I didn’t interpret that sentence like you did.

I think he was wary of what it actually meant to the product. For instance, imagine we have a problem with the authentication on an internal component, and then, someone from quality control states “don’t worry, I’ll own the authentication issues”. What does that even mean? Is QA going to solve the issue? How? Are you going to oversee the way other team(s) solve the issue?

That’s how I interpreted it.

Owning an issue means you're the one that answers those questions.
