I largely agree, but I've seen examples of projects and companies which are so totally beyond salvation or fixing that there's really no way - in those cases taking ownership isn't going to make a difference, and it's better to just move on than to waste time on it.

To be honest, I thought about it when writing the article and I agree with you.

From the perspective of extreme ownership, not fixing/spending resources or some lost cause can also be a conscious decision. But in order to make those decisions, one should consider alternatives.

In principle the idea of extreme ownership sounds like a very good thing in terms of one's career, but as always "it depends", choose/pick your battles wisely as they say.
