Maybe you're just hanging around annoying people?
I work at a large agency, we have to explain our design rationale every day to people that have zero design backgrounds. The better we do this, the better we're able to do our job. If we acted like assholes we wouldn't be in business very long.

Exactly, the really good and professional designers I worked with spent a lot of time to explain and work with me and show evidence for their approach. To be condescending and dismissive is a warning sign that maybe somebody is being arbitrary and has to cover up their lack of professional development.

Good tooling and some experience/knowledge helps, but ultimately it comes down to communication, asking questions and just having a discussion about a design. On the other side there is also a benefit of giving technical input about a design, sometimes there are more robust solutions from a technical standpoint that gel with what the designer does. I think both design and implementation are more efficient this way. It's also more fun.
