Because content and engineering keep separate lists that cannot be compared. What gets done is what was asked for most persistently, which is a poor proxy for value.
The opportunity backlog is a single ordered list of every identified improvement — content gaps, technical issues, cannibalisation, metadata.

Yes, and the override is recorded.
