Sounds like you need new employers. The only people who want that are shortsighted managers who don't care that they know nothing about users' needs, and that's certainly not a universal disposition in the software business.
This has been true of every employer I have ever had. It's true outside of "tech" as well but nearly all of my experience has been as a software engineer.
I've worked in the software business for the better part of 25 years and my experience differs.
