In my opinion, design tools like figma or adobe xd are abstractions away from the tech stack in which perpetuates more roles in which there doesn't need to be.

A UI/UX Designer should be competent in CSS in which the browser should be their whiteboard / canvas.

Abstracting the design portion away to other platforms only furthers that gap between design and development.

An optimal and streamlined design regiment is pen and paper straight to css.

Hire designers that are good with css in short.

To bridge the gap between design and development is not to find ways in which those teams communicate better, but rather a fundamental change in how we look at designers and their competency.

To further that point, if we take a look at motion design and animations, it should not be the case that a designer comes up with a wireframe and leave it to the developer to build that for building animations is out of scope for a dev task, but rather these tasks should be soley on the ui/ux designer themselves.
