Often this is the entire point. The in-house staff are seen as obstructionists, whereas outsourcers provide the equivalent of meat robots.

Many managers far prefer the latter over the former.

They prefer the latter because the mere existence of the knowledgable, informed, involved engineer questions the need for the manager at all.
