I can see that, but only because the dev has arguably already made the mistake of showing sales working features before tests are written. I've always been clear to say when something is a partial mockup to verify that I've understood what they're asking for.

Yes, but many places don't have a healthy work environment, and developers are generally younger, less confrontational, and less experienced at negotiating than management and sales.
