Yes. You also made this point earlier in the thread, but it got snipped
(I'll repeat it here:)

And that is one of the main reasons why, in big business, an executive or
team of executives from outside the organisation (often from overseas)
might be installed by a board to do a particular job (e.g. a
reorganisation).
This is not always because the vision or ability is lacking in-house, it
is because no-one in-house wants the job (makes to many enemies to say
"gentoo-macos sucks"), or because noone in-house will be given sufficient
respect ("he is just one of us, and we don't see a problem") or because
noone in-house can be trusted to do it (doesn't really apply here, since
nepotism and corruption aren't the issue).
