I am pretty sure only dunning-kruger/kinda smart but very inexperienced developers write unmaintainable software like that. The best developers I know prioritize ease of shipping + maintainability and only make things hard when they need to be. The type of person you're describing I have run into a few times but usually they are not considered highly talented at FAANG, more like the type of person to quickly hit career wall because they overly focus on coding instead of business objectives.
