I think it also depends a lot on the type of dev and if they want to take responsibility. I have experienced many devs that just didn’t care about the business and design side of things. “Leave me alone and go talk to the product owner”, was something I gotten quite often. But, to be fair I often also got “We want to be more involved in decision making”.

If you set up the responsibility, power & accountability right. Then the developer will have to care and take responsibility. Otherwise, their deliverable is wrong, and they're out. As simple as that.

Exactly, a lot of devs complain about meetings and just want to code.
