I imagine a failure mode where people “dream” about achieving X for a long time, but actually never do any specific steps towards it. Or worse: they do a specific step, but only a little one.
So their conclusion is “despite wanting X and actually working to achieve it, I failed”.
With logs, this could change to “after spending 20 minutes trying to achieve X, nothing”—which suggests the alternative interpretation that 20 minutes is obviously not enough.

I agree that lack of agency can protect your slack. Probably also protect you from people who think you are too much active for your status.
