I think the question is, are developers engineers or just programmers? The responsibility of an engineer is to give pushback when it is deserved.
As you say, the responsibility is on decision makers. But they care about the politics. They will try to make it look like you're on your own. But if you clearly demonstrate the mood of the company's employees, they will reconsider their position. The result will be compromise not capitulation but it's better for something to be better even if it isn't great yet.
