The problem is that the bullshit that they spoon feed people in management schools about 'accountability' 'performance evaluation' and 'outcomes' (I would not use the word "teach" to describe this gobbledygook) has sunk so deeply in the American collective psyche that nobody even thinks about questioning its merits, let also call it for what it is - bullshit that looks good only on paper. The management crowd that is on the receiving end of this drivel is only half of the problem, the academia and management gurus that supply it is the other half. --------
And then you have the curious case that some people are accountable (teachers), and some people are not, like hedge fund managers, consultants, etc.
So it's double speak really.
