My (unpopular) take--programmers have been 'gassed up' by a decade of overcompensation + title inflation. People think the high pay and the fancy titles* they're (often) given reflects their value or intellect*, even subconsciously, and they behave in such a manner. *Sorry, I don't consider web programming (which comprises a majority of modern software development) "engineering" *Many are some of the most intelligent people quite literally on Earth, or are otherwise exceptional.
