Everyone is prototyping (sometimes, instead of doing their actual jobs). But the amount of insights has not increased.
A prototype is a research tool. These prototypes just getting shopped around as demos to stakeholders. When they are used for research, it is only as a tool of confirmation bias.
And if the prototype didn't change any decisions, then it doesn't matter how fast you made it. It was waste.

Designers will never have influence without understanding how organizations learn
We confuse prototypes with demos, and validation with confirmation bias. As a result, we cannot lead — instead, we are led.

"The pope, who is scheduled to leave on Monday for an 11-day trip to Africa, has previously said that God 'does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them'. He has also referenced an Old Testament passage from Isaiah, saying that 'even though you make many prayers, I will not listen – your hands are full of blood'”
