I've also studied interaction design and service design. In my experience the conflict between what a user/designer wants and what the business wants are so completely different it's just frustrating to work in projects like that.

Getting everyone onboard every time, when they are only looking for you to solve their problem the way they want it solved is just horrible.

You see this time and time again where products that were well received are turned into hellscapes to extract more money from users.
I would also say that I've had "conflict between what a designer wants and what the user/business wants", which is a pain.
