There’s two sides to this.
Most of my career has been in government, and the finance cadre that ends up running most agencies are similar to MBAs as they have financial and budgeting expertise and minimal area expertise.

In short, the problems with MBAs would mostly go away if engineers had 15 credits in accounting.
