I agree, I've found like 1 or 2 "10x" developers in my career. Before I met them I doubted they existed.
I think that's why there's debate about whether they exist. It's a somewhat implausible idea and they're rare enough that plenty of people have never met one.
However if you follow open source stuff at all it's relatively easy to find examples, e.g. in the Rust world Alex Crichton is an absolute machine. Probably a 20x developer.
