This is accurate. Especially in shops that implement firm shipping dates for Product Increments. You have X weeks to build Y features consisting of Z tickets. At the end of those X weeks you better have all your tickets done. So more often than not, the tickets are done and the features are implemented. Shops like this build incredible ticket closing machines. They are implemented to pass user acceptance testing not to hold back hackers or bad actors. When leadership incentivizes delivering features and a developers job or raise depends on delivering those features, you get what you incentivize.
