alt Hacker NewsWhy not both?
Where I work, there have been a lot of pushback where that BS doesn't make a lick of sense (the crown jewel of BS request atm: "let's put AI in the bootloader").
Good governance "should" also mean that those kinds of pushback are encouraged.

It could have been both for sure. I'm just going off the public info here though and it doesn't seem like the employees failed to do what they were told to do.
In a company as large as MS, I'd never really expect a culture of encouraging pushback from below. They'd just never get anything done and the team culture and morale would likely end up in the tank.

I imagine it went like this:
CEO: Put AI everywhere/
Engineering Staff: There's a lot of places where it doesn't make sense to do this.
CEO: Do it or find somewhere else to work.
The problem of pushback at the lower levels is that it is completely ineffective when the top levels are set on something.
