> QAs trying to make decisions on behalf of the team

Oof, hits close.

Suggestion from a QA to implement some feature that is hugely difficult to implement? Business agrees so developers now need to make it happen.

Yep.

The crazy one for me was QA not going through business and just marking new feature ideas as "bugs", and then informing business that "there are still lots of bugs to be fixed".

Cross-functional teams can be very toxic when there is no decision maker, and someone suddenly decides they don't want to really collaborate.
