UK GDS is great, but the point there is that they're a crack team of project managers.
People complain about junior developers who pass a hiring screen and then can't write a single line of code. The equivalent exists for both project management and management in general, except it's much harder to spot in advance. Plus there's simply a lot of bad doctrine and "vibes management" going on.
("Vibes management": you give a prompt to your employees vaguely describing a desired outcome and then keep trying to correct it into what you actually wanted)
