It's even a blocker for some design patterns. Ie it's difficult to discuss options and choose the best one when the AI agrees with you no matter what. If you ask "But what about X" it is more likely to reverse course and agree with your new position entirely.

It's really frustrating. I've come to loathe the agreeable tone because every time i see it i remember the times where i've hit this pain point in design.

I absolutely hate this too. And the only way around it is to manipulate it into cheerfully pointing out all the problems with something in a similarly sycophantic way.
If found that three words help "critical hat on". Then you get the real talk.
What a ridiculous world we live in.
