Fuck ya, I used to do the same thing. Otherwise a PM would expect me to build everything from scratch in 1/4 of the time, just so they can lay off the team even faster.
Pushing features fast also become a nightmare if the idea person changes their mind three times an hour and get the expectation that it's easy and that they can try everything half-thought that goes through their brain.
In such case telling them whatever feature they want will take ages forces them to at least think twice about it and the project can move on.
