Sure, not a bad view and I don't know much about Brunkow and how she works, to be clear... but: you do need all these things in order to get academic funding so you can work on your ideas. Which I am not saying is a great system, it isn't, but I don't think it is easy to say these days to academic reseachers, especially early career ones, to not care too much about publications.

Edit: it is also the fallacy of saying, look she made it like that, so you can too! While she is likely a massive exception to the rule.
