I’ll give my perspective as a designer turned developer. People have always conflated design with “desenho” (drawing). But design is supposed to be more about information architecture. It just so happens that what’s usually trusted to be architected by designers is materialized graphically. But when the whole ecosystem of training and employment robs designers of their impact by not integrating them in both higher and lower level industrial processes, they’re hopelessly left at their corner, with a lot of energy to spend on what they actually have a stake on: visuals.
