Because (in the just-barely-possible universe where anyone is stupid enough to make me a manager) I will fire you if I ever find out you don't.
What possible good can come from letting people deploy things over which they do not, in any sense, have cognitive ownership?
I'd fire you for having that blanket attitude. People haven't truly known how shit works in this industry for the entire fucking time. People are following patterns set out by arrogant pricks for reasons they don't know or care to know, they are just following orders.
That said, someone, somewhere in the chain should understand how the system works. I agree there.
