Or maybe different people have different strengths? Look, I like to tinker at all levels of the stack, but I know what it takes to, say, write a correct web server. I am not going to write my own unless I must (did this at least once).

Some people prefer to re-use existing code and are good at integrating existing pieces. Others are good at writing purpose built stuff from scratch quickly. And even that is spread across technologies. I can write an async task manage, but can't easily create a CSS grid system. Just don't get stuck in the "built here" or "not built here" camp and you'll be fine.
