I know where you're coming from
But having dealt with a room full of tech types warring through a power vacuum I think it may be situation dependant. I'm a creative and we're an absolute shitshow so god knows.
That said I've also heard about the machinations of a local arts organisation and I think you can imagine what that is like. Power corrupts but absolute power and pink paper certificates can corrupt absolutely.

Hmmm...
'I had a meeting with only tech and developers...Problem. solution. problem. solution.'
'I'm a creative and we're an absolute shitshow'
I think I see what is going on there.

I should have explained further.
The warring tech department were absolutely frozen and self-defeating. Just running in circles unless they were the individuals attempting 'Machiavellian' pushes to lead. So much of it seemed to be the solutions were there but without a key individual to compartmentalise they all tried to fix their specialisation.
I believe it's all about specific groups and how they work together. I've met incredibly effective gangs of addled artists as well as the stereotypical creatives blue-skying themselves to unemployment.

I guess any work environment is capable of being dysfunctional
Though I'm of the dilbert opinion that whenever somebody from marketing gets involved you can see the cracks forming in the building walls.
It's more when non-experts get to have their opinion about something they don't fully understand of have had little experience of. Their knowledge is often inversely proportional to the stridency of their view, so you spend a lot of meeting time rubbing your temples and thinking how can you best explain the flaws in their reasoning in a way that won't make them out to be be the dropkick that they actually are and generally wishing you'd never invited them, as you know if you had competent developer or an interface designer it would be a 30 second conversation and then you'd move on
