Does everyone have reasonable opinion? Like do they present an objective reasons for their opinion? If all they can say "I don't like it", this opinion means nothing. Rarely people can meaningfully argue about UI changes.

The relationship between the perceived importance of the thing and the amount of people who have strong opinions it is inversely proportional.

The less meaningful a change is the more people dare to voice strong preferences.

Even if their “I don’t like it” doesn’t add value it still that they are business people or other devs or QA that we work together on daily basis.

I still have to manage emotions and validate their feelings and I can’t just say “fuck off, we do it my way”. Which of course is taxing emotionally especially when I have to deal with my own emotions not to feel attacked when presenting something and gettin people “on the spot, ideas”.
