The modern variant of this is "platform vs service". At my previous company, it seemed like the only path to promotion was "platform" something something. So every org was in the middle of some way over-budget rewrite of their services as some big bloated platform thing, incompatible with every other team's platform, with less functionality than their old services offered. I don't know why leadership sees all these failures and seems to think "ooh, that's exactly what I want for my team too!" But you can't get a promotion if you're not platformizing.
