In some work environments, you are encouraged to get 40 hours a week, regardless of whether those 40 hours are necessarily put towards what are perceived as the "highest value" endeavors. So if you are blocked on everything else, why not take the remaining time and put it towards things you personally believe to be beneficial to the project? It is certainly better than sitting on your thumbs or asking people who are already busy what they think you should be doing.

What is an EMPO?
Indeed production is another matter.. "I'll just slip in this new crypto routine I wrote and ask for forgiveness later..."

Oops—should have been EPMO (enterprise project management office).

It's the office responsible for processing TPS reports.

It sounds like a normal project manager/owner but with with the bureaucracy turned up to 11.

Pretty much. They're responsible for managing the project pipeline, prioritizing, sequencing... Basically, they're meta-PMs.
This is at a 25,000 employee healthcare system. Bureaucracy is inevitable, but agility is still essential.
Bringing those prototypes to production is another matter. In any organization, there are processes that need to be followed to onboard a new application, platform, pattern, etc. If those aren't followed, the implementation won't be nearly as effective—especially long-term.
