I have worked at over a dozen companies of various scales and never once met a "UX Person" that was an engineer or a computer scientist, let alone have any formal education or experience with human-computer interaction. They were glorified web designers at best, and them dreaming up ridiculous features with no technical know-how, ultimately leading to "compromises" (aka. massive amounts of technical debt) was the #1 contributor to lack of morale and engineer churn at every single one.
