Not true.

>I genuinely want to be the worst person on my team.

I feel the same way, but only because I've adjusted to the role and enjoy relentlessly leeching knowledge from the top performers.

Could you explain your position on this?

I feel that perhaps "inexperienced" is the wrong adjective, but rather developers whose ego or lack of desire to progress would want to work with people who aren't as good as them. "Inexperienced" is a decent approximation of that description as experienced developers with no desire to progress would be rare.
