I'd argue that UX requires a lot of engagement and work by software engineers. Sure it isn't work people with the title of "UX designer" or whatever would do, which is why the UX role is usually bullshit, but it is still work needed to fix the UX. And small developer led teams often refuse to bother to even consider that they have to change anything to fix these things.

You are correct that it does, but not every change made by engineers is a UX change. But even if you want to think of it like that, the backend changes still need to happen first in order to get any significant UX change going. >small developer led teams often refuse to bother to even consider that they have to change anything to fix these things. The GIMP developers are aware of this pitfall and want to avoid it, there is even a FAQ entry about it: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-gimps-user-interface-why-cant-you-just-copy-adobe-photoshop https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-gimps-use...
