Until one team need a feature in another service that makes their development grind to a halt and the other team is not prioritizing.

I have only seen this from the business side (I'm not a developer), but I have seen teams start coding in another teams service just to be able to proceed.

It's not always good to create silos like this either.

Sounds like someone has been in the trenches of a certain online retail company.

As a developer, I have certainly seen the same. Pretty sure this very scenario is where I heard the term "away team" used in the industry: send your folks over to change things, and under our guidance they can check in the code.
