You say,
> “This is straight up the opposite of what they're describing”
but then your supporting quote below that suggests the opposite. The quote about cutting scope (from a product manager’s point of view) is about cutting useful scope, like paying down urgent tech debt, in order to cram in more features or hit a shorter artificial shipping deadline despite no actual impact on any bottom line.

My supporting quote is describing a developer who pushes back against bad requirements to find a better solution, not someone who just acquieses to what product managers want.
