I am really happy there exist more business people that look after processes and whatnot, because it does seem like we (society) need it, to some degree.

Assuming you’re not trolling: you might be surprised to know that your colleagues are actually not, in fact, idiots, and will sniff this out.
For how many years do you suppose you will find it rewarding to fake your way from one thing to another? 5, 10, 20, your whole career?
From an ethical standpoint, this is no more toxic or false than the facades presented by many employers to their employees.
What makes this strategy work is the quantity of technical incompetence that's present in nearly all workplaces. I am actually a liked employee (both by superiors and by colleagues), I just have a low tolerance for bullshit. Usually the problem is "the other way around", that is with people that follow processes, use proper corpspeak but don't actually produce much, and are trying to cover the low output with manners.
I've been writing code on and off since I was 8 years old. Of course not professionally :)
If we experience a white collar recession, the toxic players will have to reevaluate their behavior.
