What you were dealing with is most likely a sysadmin that grew into a role of DBA. The DBAs I know are highly qualified and are actually making operations so much more smoother. They help with strategies of effective schema migrations, know the profiler in-depth, and actually detect optimization opportunities before the devs realize it.
My guess is that you were dealing with a person who may not actually enjoy their work and is optimizing to make their work as little as possible — but of course I may be way off course here. :)
