It is not unsurprising to find dev lacking knowledge in domain stuff that would be actually required if they were doing the development themselves, rather than outsource it to an LLM.

So the client who writes the ticket understand the domain, the LLM that implement it understand it too.

The dev is the only one that is clueless.

There is more to development than domain knowledge. There are decades of wisdom about development best practices on how to keep a large codebase maintainable, performant, testable, etc. that LLMs frequently don't follow. And now humans aren't practicing those skills either or passing down lessons learned to the next generation of programmers.

Maybe it will be no big deal, and nobody will read code anymore, but it is understandable why somebody might be concerned about it.

The LLM that implements the ticket understands the domain? I'm rather skeptical of that claim...
