In the end, it doesn't really matter what an individual engineer thinks. They can make a stink about it, but ultimately someone will do the soldering/add it to the design. Perhaps if the engineers had a union and the union cared about it, that could be different. As it stands, it makes zero difference if an engineer fights about these things. The only person it will affect is himself when he loses his job.
