Good question. I taught chemistry and then physics for decades in an urban public school district.
My STEM supervisors: “You’re doing nice work! What do you need? What can I do to help?”
My non-STEM supervisors: “I’ve observed you teaching for ten minutes. I never took a single physics class. Nevertheless, let me tell you everything that you did wrong.”

I think it’s insecurity on the part of the non-STEM folks. They’re behind the curve, and they know it. So they try arrogance and bullying to even things up.
And as a side note, near the end of my career most of my supervisors were non-STEM folks. That’s when I started thinking about an early retirement.
my STEM began with electronics set school, then radar set school, then sent to the 35th TFWg, 35th Avionics Maint Sqdrn, George AFB, Victorville, Ca. Yhen my career went from General Dynamics Pomona Branch -Stinger missile components, AIM-7f/Standard Missile III components, PHALAMX CIWS microwave components, to NAVPRO/DPRO Grumman Aerospace, Bethpage, NY, acceptance of various naval aircraft, space shuttle, and ISS assemblies.
In all of this, I attempted and was one class short of my 4 yyear degree, when Dowling College had the bright idea to raise .their tuition +$400, and change it to a 5 year degree. I ccould not afford that, and living in NY in the ‘80s on 22k gross left no wriggle room, and i was beyond the VA window, so I stopped.
