You are optimizing for your resume and pay, not the product's needs. That's what people are criticizing; what constitutes impact, how it is measured, and whether that's what's needed to make the product better.

In fact I'd argue it's the _exact_ opposite. I've seen countless engineers architect big complicated systems that are completely unnecessary. If anyone was measuring, they'd realize the impact of that system was: no incremental users, no incremental revenue, increased operational overhead, higher headcount, and more burden in further development. Is that what the user needs? You tell me.
