If you're right (and you probably are), we're in for a wild ride further down the quality death spiral.

The era of user telemetry and conversion tracking already decoupled product design from customer experience. No need to wait for customer's to articulate their experience or desires or for discerning analysts to amalgamate and ponder their opinions. The numbers tell you everything you need to know! Just throw 3000 pounds of spaghetti at the wall every month and wait to see what sticks.

But now you really were bottlenecked on engineering.

Only 3000 pounds of spaghetti per month? And throwing more bodies at it barely even makes a difference? Oof.

Of course the solution is to just flush pureed spaghetti-slop through as hose as fast as you can. Brilliant!

What could wrong? The users are sure to love it. We'll know because they keep clicking. That's how they tell us the truth, even as every forum fills with louder and louder complaints!
