Yes, I totally agree. The point of processes is to enable a company to manage huge amounts of potential work. Sometimes, processes can get in the way of just doing the simple thing we all know needs to be done.
Buuuut, I've been on the other side of that, too. Someone asks me to make some change. Sure! That's a reasonable idea and it would improve things. Making the change would take about 20 minutes. However, 437 different systems expect that thing to have its current behavior, and updating them to use the new behavior would be quite the project. In a vacuum, the change is simple and shouldn't take long to implement. Not many things operate in a vacuum, though.
For example, it would take like 5 minutes to do a "find all" in the Nginx source code and fix the misspelling of "referrer" as "referer". It would take a lot longer to update the standards with the correct spelling, and every client and other server to use it, would be slightly more challenging.
