I understand what you mean, but it does match MBA/mckinsey thinking very closely.

Does it make the product better? Well, the product is already made- so it doesn’t make a difference.

It’s only software developers who think a product is never “done”- normal MBA thinking is “we have invested in R&D, now there is a product, how do we get as many users of our product as possible”.
