Designers mostly don't initiate these kinds of things. Some Jony Ive-like rockstar designer is fairly rare.

If you want the source of most redesign initiatives, look at the middle management and executive levels. At the end of the day, if they want a redesign and a designer says "no" they'll just be replaced.

While designers are to blame for a lot of awful things and same for developers, you are absolutely correct.

For most of the companies, it’s somewhere from middle management to the top that someone sees a “cool” website late at night and the next morning says “I think it’s time for a much needed re-design”

Seconded. It's generally management and junior talent who see things in that way.
