I’d rather say an SM does not shield the team from bureaucracy, but makes them face it and empowers them to take it down.
The SM coaches the team on targeting the right topics themselves. Making them realize what to focus on. Ideally, don’t to the work for them, that they should be able to do themselves. That would make them ignore these topics, because the SM takes care of it for them.
