I'd almost split it out slightly differently, but I work indirectly with a lot of peoples code problems and this is just my own observations.
People that are formally educated tend to end up in large organizations based because HR like the idea of college degrees. Large organizations are process oriented. Somewhere above the dev the specification of the application is created. The dev typically does not get to choose their tools, instead particular versions of the tools are provided, the versions of the libraries they need to target and so forth. Also after the code is written it needs to pass any number of tools and gates and QA systems and UAT systems before it's ever used in production. In general the last thing the dev is thinking of is 'is this fast' and instead they are thinking "I have 400 things on my to do and I hope this doesn't get bounced back to me"
