I think it is more common that "shortsighted value" or "false value" is looked-down on by engineers. For example, you can increase profitability in the short-term by gutting R&D expense (engineers) but over time maintaining the system and innovating to stay-abreast of the competition will significantly suffer. Or "combining" products that on paper are complementary, but are made of such different tech-stacks and designed for different personas, that combo gets botched and users hate the product even it manages to be sold to exec that won't ever use it themselves.
