I think that there's often something simpler going on here. Some people are simple and small-minded, they simply do not enjoy learning new technical knowledge and skills, and would rather run what they have to failure even if it means losing out on a lot of income. A fine example of this is a new hire getting anxious and defensive because the git branching strategy at the company isn't the branded one they're accustomed to (e.g. git flow).
