I think teams have heard “e2e tests are slow and bad” and avoid them up front, instead of facing into them and adapting *if* they turn out to become a drag on delivery. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
(Of course the definition of e2e differs depending on who you’re taking to and what environment you’re in, which doesn’t help matters.)

@thirstybear @tdpauw @samir @mrksdck In my talks about testing I talk of the Testing Polygon instead of Pyramid exactly because the landscape has changed so much in terms of performance that many tests that were once expensive are now cheap and reliable. Michale Feathers’ definition of slow and unreliable tests is totally out of date, and has been for over a decade.
