> I would think the engineers usually get their kick out of making things fast or easy to maintain

Is your company hiring? Because I've spent 30 years being this engineer and nearly everyone looks at me like I've got horns growing out of my head.

That's not where most engineers find their job satisfaction, more's the pity. And they think they know better than users. There's a reason UX has been around for at least four decades longer than DX. Developers think both are made up.
