The underpinning logic seems false.
To extend the analogy of the house on a slope, if you don't tell the developer you need a house designed to be built on a slope, that is a problem with the spec provided to the developer.
Although it can at times be more efficient for a dev to have sysadmin experience, making blanket statements requiring all developers to come with such a background is just sensationalism.
