There is also a tricky people element involved: Product Owners in name only are on a dead-end track regarding their professional development. They do not learn what they need to. At the same time, what do you do if you realize that you would go better with less people with the word product in their job title? I would always leave options to look for other jobs in the company; unfortunately, what is written under the guise of Product these days is very harsh to people in general. A pity!
