it's almost like a form of solipsistic narcissism (the way The Last Psychiatrist describes it). Nobody else exists except as a supporting role. Why should they have to explain their genius work to anyone...

Or they are stimulated by new ideas and and general patterns? To those kinds of people writing how something that already exists works is supremely boring. It doesn't require narcissism

The difference is in whether you are willing to do the part that is not the most simulating but useful or whether you expect others to put up and do it instead of you.
And generally z others are as bored by that work as you, as simulated by new thing. Pretty often, the difference is not in how much you like boring parts, but in whether you are willing to do it anyway.
