You can code all day and stay in your corner without any external hassle.

That process being enforced will ensure that most code is buggy and development is totally unproductive. That will usually create an environment where noone expect anything from developers and you have zero accountability.

if it all goes well, you can toy around all day and not have to ship anything, still getting a paycheck, and not risking the comparison to your peers.

I don't think I'm following you. The procurement process is quite different than our coding process which involves team reviews and the like. Yes, productivity isn't as high as it could be because we sometimes have to develop something in house instead of using open source code, but we still have code review, unit testing, and similar required.
