Maybe the builder assumed they noticed too, and if they had said no the builder would try to explain.
I only ever did one big renovation and built one house, but I've seen builders fixing mistakes from engineers and architects sooo many times.

Not sure if there's a type of architect that has to think about the wholistic picture including function, usability and general ergonomics. They probably cost more too.
Uh, yes it is? It's in most building codes, as well as in the IBC (International Building Code).
Architects don't deal with structural soundness; that's a misconception. That's the domain of the structural engineer. The architect IS the generalist.
Pretty much every architect I ever had to work with was like that.
