Building products that no one really knows the internals of is crazy to me, and the methods people have of trying to mitigate that problem seem half assed at best

Sounds like you might work on a team with some agency to say no to management.
We have some and sometimes marketing comes back with some extra revenue from a partner if we build out feature X Y or Z for their new product launch. The contracts are signed so engineering has to do it or we’re blamed for lost revenue.
A few of those a year and you eventually end up in a similar situation.

As someone who currently automates the payroll flow generated by someone who doesn’t actually know what it does, I can confirm I am going crazy. My boss will do nothing about it because her boss can’t get finance to let us hire more people. I plan a strongly written resignation letter whenever I find something else.
