No. It's the fault of middle management.

If you are unable to provide your manager reasons for new development, he's going to find someone else to do your job, someone who will give him a report with charts and numbers that he can use to justify and expand his teams operational and headcount budget.

Giving a manager a report that says "there are little to no modifications that we can make at this time to improve UX" is a CLM for him.
