I've been on both sides. In collaborative teams and in teams that "seems collaborative", on the surface, cause nobody would say openly that "this is a competitive environment". At least not in companies I worked in, and in European offices.
But then, in the "seems collaborative" job, I don't have GitHub or Jira admin rights after a year, all my code is taken always apart to pieces with constant change requests to delay any delivery (if they're reviewed at all).
These are subtle signs of fencing me away from dealing with things that are totally my responsibility too, that could make work/life easier for me and for the team.
You're 100% right and what you are describing sounds like a failure in leadership. This is exactly the opposite of creating a collaborative environment for people
