I routinely see dumb ass decisions that totally ignore design/UX/technical principles imposed by the product manager while most of the company are against them. It weakens the product first because they are bad decisions and secondly by having us spend time implementing them instead of actually improving it. Thankfully I have not yet encountered decisions like this where the user personal informations are affected but I can totally relate to this kind of situation..
