"Amazing 10X engineers could still pull off shipping a working product even with all the organizational handicaps I mentioned in my earlier post."

They could. They're also good enough that they could easily say, "Fuck that shit" and go work somewhere that doesn't have that toxicity. And unless you have a significant ownership stake in the company, I don't see why you wouldn't do just that. Life is too short to work shitty jobs if you have the option not to.
