Unfortunately, it takes 6 months to a year to fully cultivate a strong culture around a process.

Two factors cause this to be an exercise in futility:

1. Job mobility

People are incentivized to job hop. Most employees are ramping into a new role, coasting/leetcoding while they interview elsewhere, or preparing to transfer to a new role in your company.

In a 1.5 year employment window in a given role, a team member may only be getting 6 months of productive time in the new work paradigm.

2. Capricious Management culture

The new era of tech has ushered in a fickle type of boss who has constant pivots, realignments, and shifting priorities. They speak of some utopian future for your organization and paint a picture that everything is always 'in transition'.

This means that nobody seriously considers your CICD or Agile paradigm to be a permanent thing... you only get half hearted attempts to follow it for the 8 months that it lasts before a new paradigm is forced onto your group.
