If we're complaining about marketing people, what I find much worse and scarier is the "our software can do that" type, who claim their product does a thing when they don't have a clue, or worse, just assume their IT will get it done before the client actually needs this feature.
This is scary on both ends: Being the poor dude that suddenly has to implement features that have already been sold, but also having to work with software that doesn't (yet) even do the things you 100% need (and slowing down production down the line).
Yikes! Business people making false promises and overselling a product is just awful, not just in the software development world
Those are pretty much impediments that a Product Owner or any other managerial roles should defend the development team against. It's unfortunate that a lot of people don't have an ownership mindset and won't stand up for the developers.
