Agreed, most shouldn't for most technical roles at least. Every place I've worked at, I'd had to somehow convince them of this, but really I couldn't even apply

Agreed, most shouldn't for most technical roles at least. Every place I've worked at, I'd had to somehow convince them of this, but really I couldn't even apply any of it if I wanted to. There are designers that take care of the user experience and visuals, and then technical managers / producers, that make decisions if something is unclear. Developers tend to just develop, and have to worry about scaling the code, making it bug free, and implementing accurate specs. I believe companies just want this cohesion of some kind between employees, just to say everyone is aligned properly or something.
