"Yes and..." I think a lot of times this is intentional.

A player wants to hire A players so the A player can more effectively beat their rivals in the marketplace.

B player wants to hire C players so the B player can more effectively beat their rivals in the company.

I’m sure this is the case at some companies. But in my experience, it’s because the B player is as bad at hiring as they are at their job. This repels A players, who can smell bullshit, leaving a pool of Bs and Cs and guess which there are more of.
