A lot of times, they do. But where I'm at, lawyers have the last say for some reason. A good example is our sub/sister companies. Our lawyers told us that we needed separate physical servers for their fucking VMs and IAM. We have a fucking data center and they wanted us to buy new hardware.
We fought and tried to explain that what they were asking didn't even make sense, all of our data and IAM is already under the same M365 tenant and other various cloud services. We can't take that apart, it's just not possible.
They wouldn't listen and are completely incapable of understanding so we just said "ok, fine" and I was told to just ignore them.
The details were forgotten in the quagmire of meetings and paperwork, and the sun rose the next day in spite of our clueless 70+ year old legal team.

Sometimes you do not care, but there are situations where this independence is key. Also keep in mind that if you go court, the judge will be in his 70s as well so is likely to interpret things the same way your lawyers do.
