Doing work that helps another team will rarely result in getting any credit and is a great way to get stuck in the bottom of the stack rank (top grading or whatever they call it now). So automating anything that integrates across the org chart won't happen because the incentive structure is against it.
That's not true. In fact OP1 and OP2 [1] in Amazon are in majority an intake process for projects requested by other teams. I'd say only half of them come from the team itself.
