I sometimes venture an opinion, but it's just, like, my opinion man. And they don't have to worry about the minutiae of code. That's my job as an engineer. They can ask questions and make suggestions, but it's up to my peers and I to decide the engineering questions. The problem isn't with clearcut roles. Clear separation of responsibility is great. The problem is trust. And trust problems are not solved by throwing everyone into the same deep end.
