TLDR provided by ChatGPT:

As software development grows more complex, the devops approach, which merges software development and IT operations roles, is under scrutiny. Although devops has sped up updates and tightened feedback loops, it's often overburdening individuals by blurring developer and operator roles. Developers have voiced reluctance to handle operations, citing the specialized skills needed. The potential solutions include realigning responsibilities to empower developers with timely information, using container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to separate developer and operator concerns, and expanding the roles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. The future of software development may require a blend of devops, SRE, and platform engineering to effectively address the growing complexity.

The alternative of begging for change requests that never happens is 100x worse imo

I am really confused by what I'm reading here. This is exactly it. If you have a specific DevOps role or team plus developers... Congratulations you have Operations again. Developers should empowered to fuck (their) shit up and fix it, that means having mandate, tooling and responsibilities for running things in production. And auditing and compliance is definitely possible all while doing do.
