Also, someone who runs the company should be able to spend the correct amount of time on such things. The whole concept is that if they see they have to spend too much time on it, or can't spend enough, then they should be solving the problem on on a higher level by changing strategies, or doing more hiring, or talking to their employees, etc.

Lots of major company owners here even find time for GFY, some daily...
This is pretty contradictory. You're saying that the top-level people should have the time to check in on every little thing going on, but they should also be smart enough so that they don't have to check in on every little thing going on.

What you are suggesting is also a huge drain on morale. Some jobs need babysitting, some don't. Micromanagement usually stifles more than encourages.
