You are very right to call out that in a corporate environment getting things done is judged by the eye of the beholder. This, imho, makes this article even more naive because posthog is pretending they don't do that, and no organization is immune to it.
Ironically, GitHub started having lots of problems when they enbraced the holocracy, i.e. flat management. No one was in charge and no amount of "empty PRs" as I described above could mitigate the vacuum of leadership.
