I completely agree. In fact, I believe URL design should be part of UX design, and although I've worked with 30+ UX designers, I've never once received guidance on URLs.

As a UX designer that always gives guidance on URL design/strategy, I’ll say it’s not always well received. I’ve run into more than a few engineering or PM teams who feel that’s not w/in scope of design.

		As a dev who cares about UX, this is crazy to hear but resonates, I've got a few weird looks from people whenever I mentioned some URL improvements. I've also worked with people who understood it. I've seen a correlation though, when people cared enough I could share freely about this, when I did the designer's and dev work I would just add that in (I'm def not a designer, so if I'm doing design work that means the owner doesn't care about design, let alone URLs). I can imagine in your situation as a pure designer how you got it though though, sorry to hear that and I wish other devs cared more. I've def mentoring people to care about it so hope others do so too.

		As a dev mentor one of my first lesson is what everybody has in common is design. We all are trying to understand a problem and trying to figure out the best solution. How each role approaches this has some low level specializations but high level learnings can be shared.
