That is, companies are a meritocracy as long as "merit" means "making your bosses happy".

It's a horrible thing and makes your job merely about pleasing the whims of some random C-suite instead of doing something productive for society. I'd rather work on an assembly line, at least the machine is consistent about what it wants and doesn't change its mind because it just read an article about NFTs.

On an assembly line you answer to a boss, not a machine. They can change the requirements on a whim there as well or change methodology.
