Yes, precisely. Now if you have a really brilliant engineer who could found a 100 million plus company, but they're working for you by some twist of fate instead - if you treat them like a code monkey they're going to hate it, and you're wasting their potential. This is what e.g. Google does. On the other hand if you empower them and get the fuck out the way, they may well surprise you.

Well no one is forced to work anywhere, especially if they don't like it. Fact of the matter is that there is more support for entrepreneurs today than ever before, especially in tech. Electric scooters are getting $100 million funding rounds. There is more than enough support for this brilliant engineer to create his successful company.
