Personally I think it's just their social circles that reinforce this, not the boogeyman MBA stuff. Because at some level, yes, they can be intimidated by technical people and this is a defense to avoid the "why am I even employed" spiral.

It would be nice if they could meet us half-way on the technical stuff. They regularly merge architects and sysadmins into developer roles making us learn more stuff.
