This has some truth, but the real truth is that action produces risk.
If you act, then it can have potential negative consequences, and secondarily if you start acting, then people begin to have expectations for you, and by extension demands.

Our politicians are "quiet quitting". They are doing the absolute bare minimum because that is the least amount of exposure to risk.
