It isn't? Whoever inherits the role will have the same issues, so how isn't swapping teams punting the issue to someone else?

Employees have a responsibility to make sure their job gets done, and can (and should) identify obstructions to that happening.

'Managing up' is a well-known and fairly common skill at large companies.
Employees have 0 responsibility or incentive to improve their managers (the converse is not true). In fact, it’s a terrible idea to do so, because there’s probably only single digit % of managers who would take that positively, if even.
Especially if it isn’t the manager taking the initiative to ask for improvement ideas.
