> Tools are just slaves to reality, not the other way around. If a legacy top-down organisation wants you do to a certain thing a certain way, and you have no recourse but to do as you're told, that's your organisation's fault and nothing else. You can either gain a position where you can make changes, or leave the company.

That's naive; tools influence the way they're used. When a tool defaults to having manager accounts that can change how things get done and developer accounts that can't, it nudges the organisation in that direction.
