I totally agree, the employer requires me to take ownership of the code I pushed to the repository. I should not be enforced to use some tool if I think that the tool does wrong.

In a larger scope, I tend to break many "rules" when I code, because I say that my experience proves against it, and this is what makes me unique. Of course nowadays, I need to convince my team to approve it, but sometimes things that are written differently are free from certain flaws that I want in this very case to avoid.

-- EDIT --

I think that this management trend comes from the bad management principles. There's a joke that a bad manager is a person who knowingly that one woman delivers a baby in 9 months, will consider that nine women deliver a baby in one month. I'd say similar principle comes in here - they were bought by the commercials on how AI makes things faster, they have put the numbers into their spreadsheet and now they expect the numbers they pay get similar to the numbers on the sheet. And if the numbers do not fit, they start pushing.
