Often those of us that do want to learn what the business problem is are not allowed to be involved in those discussions, for various reasons. Sometimes it's "Oh we can take care of that so you don't have to deal with it," and sometimes it's "Just build to this design/spec" and they're not used to engineers (the good ones) questioning things.

"Just shut up and push the nerd-buttons, nerd."
I went and got an MBA to try and get around this. It didn't work.
I had a professor in grad school, Computer Engineering, that begged me not to get an MBA--he had worked in industry, particularly defense, and had a very low opinion of MBAs. I tend to agree nowadays. I really think the cookie-cutter "safe" approach that MBA types take, along with them maximizing profits using data science tools, has made the USA a worse place overall.
