I think it is more about understanding the problem and the structure of the data that goes with it rather than abstraction.
You're right, abstraction is more important at API level to enable other developers grok the code faster. But the problem is also solved better at the right level of thought, reusing libraries where useful and dropping closer to the metal when perf requires it
Being a 10xer means being fast at finding the right abstraction within a reasonable time frame which allows to further diminish time constraints that are part of the execution.
In other words, think (well) before you act.
