Another facet of this is my annoyance at other developers when they persistently incurious about the domain. (Thankfully, this has not been too common.)

I don't just mean when there are tight deadlines, or there's a customer-from-heck who insists they always know best, but as their default mode of operation. I imagine it's like a gardener who cares only about the catalogue of tools, and just wants the bare-minimum knowledge to deal with any particular set of green thingies in the dirt.
