I've genuinely been sat in meetings that got derailed for 30 minutes so that the placement of objects that players are likely never to interact with could be discussed in detail. There's just no actual focus on getting the game done.

We have a saying here that translates to something like this: "perfect is the enemy of done". Getting lost in details like this will always delay things a ton.

My boss LOVES to throw that out all the time as a defense for when I inform him that he and mgmt are rushing something out the door that isn’t ready.

It definitely has wisdom but it’s not something to wave around all the time either.

Not that that’s the problem here, SC ain’t ever coming out and it’s not because of perfection. It’s because it’s a scam lol
