Are you expecting the engineers to refuse to implement a "feature" like this on principle or something?

Yes. Or at least question it.

Just like I'd expect a civil engineer to question the plans for that bridge they're building if it seems like it's not up to spec.

Or like I'd expect an electrical engineer to revise the plans for a circuit that poses an electrocution risk.

Why would software engineers be held to a different standard?
