I agree with all that. If you're an organization of any size, you need some level of metrics and measurement. And, if you're a public company, the owners (i.e. shareholders) are going to dictate some of that at a company level. (And even if you're a growth unicorn, that just means the metrics are around growth rather than profit or revenue.)
Just counting on everyone to do the "right thing" and evaluating them on gut feel doesn't really work at scale.
