Why do designers feel threatened by other designers?

I personally feel it's because of how the higher authorities treat the old designers once a new hire comes in. They treat the new hires with lots of care and attention while old designers have to bear with a lot of insults from the managers and co-founders. It's the higher authorities who have to change.

On the other hand devs don’t pretend to be superior and stay humble with their processes.

All good reasons mentioned below. Plus design is subjective, code is mostly objective. There are no strict right or wrongs in design. That creates a lot of room for debates.

Due to the ratio of designer and developer in the company , companies usually hire developers in 10:1 factor to the designer
