I hear that you want to be empowered, but you want the people around you not to be.
Understanding why you think your role should be empowered (ultimately responsible for the product) and the benefits it brings is _exactly_ why the people around you should be empowered as well.
It sounds to me like you’ve never been in the software businesses where true creation is happening and you’re in the world of pseudo contractors or explicit contractor arrangements. All I can say is there is a much better world, you should change your attitude and hustle to get there.
