I'm afraid this will leads designers' work into a trap, if the designer really assumes the "tech driven is right".
What is that trap?
But as a tactic, designer could avoid such fruitless discussion ( like, "No, xxx should be user needs/motivation driven instead of tech driven" ) , with a user centered driven mind-set in the core, and push the product development going. As the result, more than less, user centered driven methods will push tech's improvement as many designers found, which will convince tech/engineering side co- workers.
I think *this* is a trap that is pretty bad. Whatever you considered "user-centered driven methods" are likely to be expensive. That expense isn't always justified for the results it will glean.
Understanding when that expense will return value and when it won't is part of the process of good design management.
