I think "doesn't work in every case" is true for basically every rule of course. But 99% of people in the industry are not qualified to make that call because they will always choose "not" out of laziness rather than because it actually wasn't a good idea
Have we stoped celebrating laziness being a virtue in software development? Discipline doesn't and will never scale and the pressures of business mean that processes that processes that put up walls to shipping will always crumble.
Real example, we do PR reviews because they're required for our audit and I'm of the opinion that they're mostly theater. It's vanishingly rare that someone actually wants a review rather than hitting the approve button and will call it out specifically if they do. Cool. This means you can't count on code review to catch problems, discipline doesn't scale after all. So instead we rely on a suite of end to end tests that are developed independently by our QA team.
Laziness is a virtue when it leads to automation. Not when it leads to shoddy work
