I know like 2 engineers who are really, really good at coming at problems from a business perspective and I know like 70 who work the way you describe.

Maybe it's because if you acknowledge the business as the most important, then engineering is only a means to an end and not important. I think that's an error in reasoning, but it makes some sense.

To me, it's having the humility to accept that someone may know less about tech than you, but still more about the problem at hand.
