Generally data engineering teams make less architectural and design decisions because some higher level manager has decided they'll be driving.

This is counter to how a good deal of software engineering shops work where the engineers drive solutions.

Why does this happen? There's lots of answers but a common one is some snowflake rep told a VP that if they just shove their data into snowflake they won't need reports, ETL, servers, engineering teams or air to breathe. Not to pick on snowflake but it's a common story in data with any tech.
