Not at all, I have on many occasion, where I'm the tech lead that an idea gets sent to once it has been vetted through product, said anything is possible in tech given enough time and money.
The point is that is takes time and money just for to figure out how much time and money doing the idea would take. Not having that vetted with product vision before someone takes the time to scope it is a waste of time and money, especially when developer time is one of the most expensive and in demand things. It's not just the money you pay them, but the lost opportunity cost where you could have had them doing something you actually wanted.

It is because developer resources are so precious that I try to impress on the new people to understand where and how they should be applying themselves.
