I think you're right most of the time, but I wonder if there's not also a certain personality type that like that, regardless of their actual competency level, that prefers doing as little as possible.
I wish one of my ex-employers had been better at filtering out that type of people.
There's also a certain personality type that just really wants things to be done by the right person. That's something I need to consciously overcome: this is not rightfully my job, but I'm going to do it anyway, because that's the most useful thing to do.
