Would you prefer a device from a company where the CEO, the VP of marketing, or the lead engineer was the one calling the shots on the design?
"The Design" isn't everything.
The CEO would be expected to see the bigger picture.
The VP of marketing would figure out how to sell the public on it, or maybe even if the public would be interested, in the case of a product.
The lead engineer would make his report and the suits would be responsible for acting on what the lead engineer had to say.
Left out is procurement, production, shipping and receiving, legal (any patents infringed?), and all the other evil but necessary tasks for which the lead engineer would likely have no taste, no experience, and no power, to organize.
We're talking 325 million customers, on this virus thing (US viewpoint), or even 7.8 billion if one point of control is really wanted.
I'd think that complicates any potential "
Hey guys! Let's all do this, because I'm large and in charge!" solutions.
