Somewhat related: I've seen this problem exacerbated by the presence of "architects" who don't seem to have implemented running systems in a long time, and especially have no experience with running newer technologies; or limited experience which breaks at scale. Not saying this applies to all software architects, but I've seen this often enough.

e.g. I remember using a dedicated jenkins environment to run continuous, scheduled integration tests for my service. When the architect found out, he immediately sent me links to software packages that are dedicated to running continuous tests. I asked whether he had any experience running these new packages and if he would be willing to set it up/maintain it.... radio silence.
