Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before.

This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.

@mfowler absolutely agreed. This bureaucratic theater increases the friction of making code changes to a degree that refactoring, chores, and other important but non-ticket worthy work that keeps a codebase healthy never gets done.
