Rubbish. Good engineers will think laterally about what they can do to make the product work better for the customer, and this is especially true they're in a tight technical spot. Everyone can get railroaded by their thought process and be blinded to the easy, simple solutions, but a good engineer is supposed to be aware of that.
More likely, the lift engineer (or team) is only allowed to "make this lift 20% faster" and is told to stay in their lane when they suggest non-lift-based ideas.
In all likelihood, the engineer is employed by a company in order to sell expensive lift upgrades, not mirrors or interior design services. And his boss has a target.
