You are putting a lot of words and judgements into the authors mouth.

Why exactly is it acceptable to not just do your role and expect the underlying requirements to be correct and measurable, especially when there are separate roles whose sole purpose is to do exactly that?

Because being a code monkey is getting devalued like crazy every hour that agentic coding improves in ability. If all you do is take well specified requirements and turn them into a piece of code you are going to lose your livelihood unless you can learn to do more than that or you're at the very top end of people who do that.
