Incorrect. I don't think I've met one person that were actually good at their job but didn't wanted to share the skill.

It's because management didn't value it. They put the veteran on on more jobs rather on moving them to training, because short term it's more profitable, and mid term it's easier to poach veterans off competition rather than train them in house

How do you explain guilds restricting supply then? (The most common example is Physicians).

Explain how that restriction is working in the face of NPs?

We are debating the attempt to restrict supply here as a counterargument to "everyone wants to share their skill", not the success or failure of such attempts.
