Because users do not know that there's some hypothetical "better" experience they could have had and do not care, unless your service/tool/whatever is not functioning correctly. Prioritizing your employees' enjoyment and experience to deliver more, faster, and consistently, is in all likelihood a better decision than prioritizing some subjective improvement to user experience.

Of course there are exceptions. But it's definitely a hot take to say you should never prioritize DX over UX.

If your business competitors prioritise UX over DX, your users will soon know. And then they won't be your users any more.

Many users will prioritize the features they need, shipped promptly, and without bugs, over a nicer UI.
