so yes, strategic decisions that were affordable at one point can become un-afforable down the road (or vice versa)
you raise a great point about the lack of synchroncity not affecting the business output / outcome - I would argue that it does, and the way to think about it is how much more impactful some of these companies could be if they had more stability
the re-orgs / pivots / attrition do have an impact, it's just an overall drag, but hard to quantify what things would look like if it wasn't there
re staying synchonized despite change, that's exactly why companies have "glue" roles and "alignment" processes to prevent drift, and while I'm a fan of these options if/when implemented correctly, at a lot of places it just becomes unnecessary bloat / overhead
with all of these, they can shift over time...
