Most companies are not graciously funded laboratories so to me the argument for "let smart people chat randomly" is moot. Those companies have plenty of creativity-killing processes that make sure people never looked beyond what they have to do today and maybe tomorrow.

Or just the reality that most employees don’t have a big picture creative role.

I suspect most developers don’t really have a meaningful hand in shaping what they work on.
