Absolutely agree. That scenario (every dev is a SPOF) actually makes the company's bus factor 1/N, where N=number of devs.
Of course, realistically few devs are so critical to a project that they couldn't be replaced by another strong developer with a month or two to learn the code base, or at least a part of it. Obvious exceptions for deep domain expertise and the like, of course. But I've worked on way too many rescue projects to believe anyone is truly irreplaceable in the normal course of events.
