Well it _is_ a common trick for "making the bride pretty" or for short-term incentivized CEOs:
You know you've got a top notch DevSecOps team for example if everything is smooth, calm and boring — because most issues are automated away. That's exactly the point when you know you can safely fire that expensive team, because it'll usually take a few years until the automation surplus has been exhausted and then a few more until the starting chaos has propagated into actual outside-visible incidents.
Makes for a great bottom-line at approximately the end of shares vesting.

You didn't get that pro-tip from me.
