>One needs to be able to create their own interesting solutions rather than expecting them to be handed down on a plate.
You should tell that to every old manager I had.
They sound like boreful people. If you find you have become boreful, there's a good chance you may be experiencing burnout or depression, which are nasty diseases, but still ones that afflict the subject, not the object. Nothing is boring but for the person who perceives it that way.
They have a job and family at the end of the day too. Not everyone has the power nor passion to try and and move a billion dollar corporation to care for people over profit.

I haven't has a full time job in over 18 months, so I hope I'm not burnt out.

That's like saying nothing is ugly except for what people think is ugly. Boredom is personal and shaped by each person's experience, so I don't think framing it as a person for not trying hard enough is going to go too far in practice (nor is it productive to judge people based on how they prioritize their lives). Of course some things will be boring to one person and a life passion for another.We don't have enough time nor energy to try and find appreciation for every object and concept on Earth.
What a strange thing to say! Aren't people also kind of... things? Shouldn't they be at least as interesting as things?
word of warning from an old guy, don't create problems for yourself when you don't have to. Turning something boring into something interesting can have painful consequences down the road.
