I agree with you on this. It's the difference between "I get a 500 error when I try to submit the blah form and here's the error in the log - it seems to crash in the foo method of the bar service when it receives a null value but it's not clear even from the debugger why it's getting null" vs "X doesn't work".

This exact situations happens to me far too often, especially when working with developers who refuse to learn the other side of the stack. Had lots of "this doesn't work" conversations with frontend devs who refuse to get their arms dirty with the database, and same from backend to frontend as well.
