Designing good UX can be as difficult as writing good code.
Source: Im UI/UX designer and project manager and also QA/QC and also devops and also write the specs and documentation. The only thing I dont do is write the code, DB schema and architecture . The hardest of all those roles is UX. The easiest is project management ("Did anything go tits-up today? No? Well carry on, then ")
Biases: I have no formal training in any of those things and was actually hired as a helpdesk tech.
PMs and UXers are the Tom Sayers of the software world, whitewashing aunt Polly’s fence and making the other kids do the work and pay for the privilege.
Warm take. Engineers who don’t know engineers shouldn’t design interfaces have never had a non-engineer give feedback for their interfaces. We’re all the same kind of weirdo.

Bro I swear. The amount of times I keep seeing bad UX drives me nuts.

I mean, yes, but also I’ve dealt with plenty of awful engineer designed interfaces that made my job harder than I’d like
