Possibly even SRE shouldn't even exist, not only the structural issues you mention, but...

If you approach to security is that only square tiles are allowed because your security framework is a square grid, and points just break your security model, maybe it was never a valid thing to model in the first place.

I'm not saying security should not exist, but to use an analogy the approach should be entirely different - we have security guards, less so fences, not because fences don't provide some security, but because the agent can make the proper decision, and a lot of these enterprise models are more akin to fences with a doorman, not an professional with a piece and training...

Agreed. I also think rotations, where engineers and ops/security swap off from time-to-time and are actually rated on their output in both roles would be useful to break down the adversarial nature of this relationship.
