Unfortunately, all too often not enough. But then again often one has UX designers for that, but they are all too often off to build flying castles in Figma.

Visual design is only one part of UX- interaction design and information architecture are equally important components.

At my last two jobs, when I did v front end work I had to coach designers through UX on a regular basis, because the designers did as much for the marketing department as they did for the development team.

Sadly, UX as a discipline doesn't get much love from most companies.
