That power makes it annoying. Product Managers get their inner Stalin thrills using Jira. It’s obnoxiously complicated.

That's hardly jira's fault.

It's great piece of software. But every instance I've seen had overcomplicated setup enforced by random initiatives in the organization, while making further reasonable fixes hard by how has privileges and "we're not sure what this will break at this point".

Plus having actual admin of that stack is some magical creature that companies are afraid of.

We hate Jira but we should rather demand fixes from people enforcing how it's managed in our org.
