You are exactly right! And yet everyone thought they were organized by functions/objectives/OKRs or whatever. The blind spot is what I want to highlight here.

"Data-Delivery" is an anonymization. The team shipped a specific data set that I did not want to name.

I'm interpreting the core issue as

two pizza team == organized around OKRs

Whereas the better way to think about it is

two pizza team == cross-functional, lean teams

Seems like an issue around semantics
