Not true. There's a lot of exceptions to the rule. I was lucky enough to work on a couple on my 2 decades career so far.

Very well said it’s a company within a company. You want to be in the most diverse sub company
Well said.
I'll just say that all companies (at least, large US-based ones) are like that. Every single one of them.
The trick is to have a 'management empire' that's large enough that it spans most of the required functions. That way at least some engineers are able to move inside the fiefdom and not bump heads against some other high level manager's domain.
