Technical decisions are not meant to make anyone happy unless it is the customer. That said, dogmatic people CAN be an issue, but it is important to recognize why, so things can be explained to them. Typically technical decisions are a trade-off between cost now, and cost later, and people dogmatic about technical decisions are happy to incur large cost now, if it means reducing long term costs. In doing so they however often overlook that the budget may not support the now-costs they wish to incur, either because right now there it is too small, or because the expected profit is too small. Upon explaining this clearly they often remain unhappy, but become willing to accept things for how they are.
