I have seen that this can be a challenge in some SAFe programs

The top-down control generates waste in the value stream and discourages engineering talent creativity, while limiting autonomy and experimentation in the teams.

Agile needs to apply to all levels of an organization.

There's also a risk on focusing on feature factories rather than built-in quality despite all the buzzwords in the SAFe maps such as Continuous Exploration and Continuous Delivery.
