From an outside perspective it looks like you are saying you know what is best but can't convince anybody of it? Is everyone around you incompetent or is it possible there are different priorities?
I think it's not different priorities so much as an organization that has ossified around a particular way of doing things, and when problems are detected (like "why does it take 2 weeks to add a column to a table"), the solution is to cram more cooks into the kitchen. If I bring this up I am basically told "well we can't do anything about that." So I've learned to keep my mouth shut when the scrum leader asks if there's anything keeping me from doing my job rather than rattling off the latest of many organizational problems that have made my job 1000x harder than it needs to be.
I have worked at places where people are competent and have slightly different priorities than I do. This is very different.
