It definitely is, but it shouldn't be (your job). You don't see an electric engineer having to convince his clients of the value of good electric engineering.
It is what it is, but I do think we should aim towards a market in which "justifying your existence as a professional" is not part of the job description.

Your job as a designer is to educate your clients to the value of good design. It's not their job to know it already.
