It is similar to why organizations don't hire 10x engineers only. It is difficult, a lot of work and hiring just one bad manager could cause the 10x engineers to leave or become unproductive. It is far easier to treat engineers like cogs and hire people that check the right boxes and throw them into a standard scrum process.
It's not a secret. Many other organizations (not in F1, by your description) operate this way. It's well understood, but...

... everyone on the team needs to buy in to this approach. One selfish team member can slowly ruin the whole thing.
The uncomfortable reality of these cultures is that when someone in the culture is not truly committed, or is putting their self-interest ahead of the team, they need to be removed. A lot of leaders are not strong enough to recognize that and take action.
