It's hard not to agree but this is a total loss. DevOps as a culture works, and what most organizations do doesn't.
Why is it so hard to embed these specialists in a vertical team and bring that cultural change? My guess is that they have two work streams and effectively two people to report to: The team leader, and their own manager/director.
I think this is a problem for businesses since it complicates traditional hierarchies in ways they are not prepared to deal with.
A counter example is QA, that does more often get embedded within a team and promotes a quality first mindset - why get this right and not DevOps? I'm confused.
