Eh. If you get into enterprise business, this is the accepted management style. AI will now mix this up a little, but before you basically needed to ask if you want to blow 300k on developer salaries to maybe fix something that is already working and generating money, or add more features to the roadmap you can pin on your chest. Scaling infrastructure is the best choice for 90% of managers, especially since they are not the ones paying for it and this kind of technical debt doesn't matter on typical bonus check timeframes.

Managers love big cloud spend so the vendors take them on fancy golf trips ... er ... "Conferences".
