Not sure if this is a rhetorical question- I've worked with people who have similar quirks, and power-posturing (possibly subconsciously) was only way I could rationalize their behavior.
If I create a bespoke mess, and you need to figure it out, then I have power over you.

Making things simple and straightforward is often has neutral career outcomes at best, and if you consider the downstream effects, can actually be negative (oh he did that thing we all thought would be super difficult and look how straightforward it turned out to be; must not be that hard).
