That's an unfortunate consequence of the OKR process. If the company has to be chasing near moonshot projects all the time. Then they also align resources towards it. That means money is chasing those projects.
There is a huge incentive to keep launching new things. To keep doing something big. Its the classic throw-pizza-at-wall-see-what-sticks approach except the experiment is run among a huge group of people. So eventually some Pizza sticks.
But even in that case. I hear '20% time projects' culture have long been dead for now. So that means the projects have to come some one from the top to get some resources.
