I'd argue the lack of feedback comes from the disconnect between the actual product and the business at so many software companies.
If the language of business is accounting than the operations of a business is software. Why then do so many people only care about one of these?
Everyone wants to talk about the 10,000ft view, yet so much of a business is usually opaque anyway? Worse is when you are transparent and the people on the other side of the house don't even know what they're looking at. I think it's becoming increasingly unacceptable that people want to stay specialized or are prevented from being given more responsibility as they progress in their career. The hierarchies at so many places are often a big fat lie protecting incompetence and avoiding meaningful collaboration.
