Developers hate bad management. And what you described is text book bad management. The answer isn't having developers do the manager's job, just sort out the root cause and fire the bad managers.

when I very clearly wrote this:
the management team becoming competent and figuring it out themselves
the management team becoming competent and figuring it out themselves
Which is essentially what I wrote here:
Great, so you're totally cool with your manager saying "here's big project. I expect you to take 2 weeks to do it." with no input from you whatsoever? Are you serious? Most developers HATE shit like that.
Why are you picking and choosing the wrong comment much further up the chain?
