I think that could be.
This is completely anecdotal but I there is a friend of mine, he and I have worked together for probably 20 years on and off in various companies and so forth. He moved up the ranks and became a VP for a big company, same one as me now. I never wanted that, I don't like having a lot of responsibility, I like being innovative, developing things but I just don't want the responsibility of having people report to me or anything like that, I am just not comfortable with it, tried it, did not enjoy it. He on the other hand, loves it, he devours it. He is a good guy, we are friends, but just different.
Recently he decided to retire, I joked with him that it was probably not as much fun being a VP now that he can't go into the office and have all the attention. He laughed and said ya, it's just not as much fun anymore, and we are not even allowed now to ask people to turn on their cameras (long story for another thread).
He was joking a bit of course, but you know, sometimes when we joke, there is an element of truth in there. I think that was the case here. He is just one guy but, I am guessing there is a personality trait at work here.
