You guys have a very romantic view of things.
Even at Red Bull, where Newey worked, Perez has said several times that he was never listened to. Hamilton, when he was at Mercedes, also complained a lot about never being listened to, etc., etc., etc...
It's a human thing. Almost all the car's behavior is in the telemetry data; most engineers will believe the telemetry more than the drivers' words, for ego reasons.
And this happens even with race engineers when setting up the car, so imagine what happens with the high-level engineers responsible for the car design...
