Management wants to mediate these as much as possible, because simple translation mistakes can cause bad optics, like someone being left alone on stream when their collab partner thinks it's tomorrow and slept in.
Forcing them to go through management to even DM one another not only gives management control over this kind of stuff, but also lets them control which ENs and which JPs cross that barrier.
