While I agree, it is also very common that it's the culture inside the dev team that leads to this situation.

Dev culture tends to idolize unicorns and 10x coders (more than management who has absolutely no reason to care about the status or ego of each dev individually) so they tend to, themselves, find intimidating to admit they are not one.

Yep once we kick the PMP out, then we can work on safety so people will openly share where they are in the battle with the real enemy - the software.

As it turns out 10x isn't enough. Once the complexity of the solution hits a certain point you really need multiple brains working together to reliably evolve it in a sustainable manner that isn't rife with operational disruption.
