Yes.

Here is another way to think of this. We all understand that the value of a lawyer in contract negotiations lies not only in drafting a document that, when fed to judge, produces the desired outcome. Rather, lawyers help clients (and counterparties) decide on what their interests consist in.

Developing software is always something of a principal-agent coordination problem, and comes with transaction costs.

Much of the time, most of us labor under the illusion that each of us understands our desires and interests better than any other party could.
