You’re shifting subjects. The humble “blue collard” employee vs a “diva” leader is a whole different theme and applies to all industries. I respect both ways, you can be condescending towards single dev/artists but you’ll find advantages and disadvantages for both paths. I personally enjoy the freedom that comes from being independent and not kissing 
24/7. Though I respect and understand the other “collaboration” way, which is the popular one and more stable financially (Companies love good behaved soldiers 
)
Anyway… back to the subject.
Dude, you’re judging without knowing. I understand you a proud “Team first” style worker but everyone is different. Name calling or bullying is unnecessary. Nobody is trying to enforce nothing. It’s just matter of IP protection, don’t get the subject mixed. The final say for me is what the customer wants, that is the voice that I listen (feedback), those are my bosses.
