AI has a lot of "leaders" currently working through a somewhat ignorant discovery of existing domain knowledge (ask me how being a designer has felt in the last 15 years of UX Leadership™ slowly realizing there's depth to the craft).

In recent months, we have MCPs, helping lots of people realize that huh, when services have usable APIs, you can connect them together!

In the current case: AI can do the tedious things for me -> Huh, discarding vast dependency trees (because I previously wanted the tedious stuff done for me too) lessens my risk surface!

They really are discovered truths, but no one's forcing them to come with an understanding of the tradeoffs happening.
