creativity is a function of specialized research and work, you can be the most creative when you have the most overview of what already exists and have ideas on how to improve it

Your thinking then gets colored by what already exists so your creativity goes in the same direction as everyone else's, which is why it makes sense to split up the creativity types. So deviant creativity should peak before you establish yourself, while conformant creativity peaks when you are established, which aligns with what the article states with conceptual peaking at 25 years and experimental at 50 years old.
