it's literally their job to ship functional product features...
The practical part of their job for them is to show up and to get paid.
Who cares about features or functional - of whether they even know what functional means in that case?
That's how it looks more and more...
Everyone's job is to please their manager. Their job is shipping functional product features only if that's what their manager likes. In functional companies, that should be the case. There aren't many functional companies.
