This has been my experience as well. Some word of mouth counterexamples exist yet are not the norm.

I think it's especially hard to appreciate sales+marketing since they seem so ephemeral while tech is concrete. Sadly there also also too many examples of marketing getting too far ahead of the product, over promising, or devaluing engineering.

Best is definitely a balance, where all sides respect others' work and can see both the effort and its benefits.
