I'm really sorry you go through this too. I face a similar uphill battle at work and it's like shouting into a void (or should I say, avoidance...)

What boggles me is that we have a dedicated UX team who seem not to care one whit for bandwidth and accessibility, just imprinting their 'vision' across the org through design systems. Questions around these topics are handwaved away. But speed and accessibility _are_ part of user experience, it's in the name sir!

The problem with both designers and coders is that they never personally feel the consequences of their choices.

That's why each of us should routinely be doing a few hours of customer support for the thing you build. Very humbling and educational.
