Not a developer myself, I work in finance and work with developers from time to time. From my experience the issue is developers assume because they have some sense of self evaluated expertise in whatever they do they also can extrapolate that expertise in things they have absolutely no clue about.

I thought there was a name for this(cant find it), but its not just devs, its most people with a deep technical expertise.

I remember watching a youtube video about this, where they used Neil deGrasse Tyson as a case study. Showing cases of him confidently saying wrong things in fields he's not very knowledgeable in.

In my experience, this is more or less anyone with graduate education or engineering experience. It's a common failure mode to go from "I am an expert in X" to "being an expert in X means I can solve all the world's problems."
