For reference (as per Wikipedia):
Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure.

This also means that they share the responsibility for your shitty code. They often have almost all of it. That cartoon is saying this.
In what sense? I might agree with you, but it hinges alot in what you mean by “drive.”
They share responsibility in reality, but they will get promotions and bonuses while you will get fired.
