On a side note, I use to see people with higher titles than mine not visibly doing as much as me, and found it grating. Now I have one of those titles, and I'm working harder than before, but a lot of it is with vendors, contractors, and overseeing projects. To ICs inside a particular project, it probably likes like I'm not doing much of anything. It changed my outlook on such things a lot.

I have found the same thing over the years. A lot of times the folks who 'just don't do anything' and 'just don't understand' were doing plenty and understood plenty, I just was too immature to get that at the time.

Not 100% always, mind you, but way more often than not.
