One thing is for sure: they aren’t going to hire someone with potential and invest in developing them up.

  Not everyone has the skillset required to do that, and in a small team you may not have anyone with that skillset.

  I"m mad at myself for seeing the CEO of one of my former employers pushing the book Grit constantly, seeing the above behavior and not putting two and two together for months...

  That's perfectly reasonable, many companies are not in a position where they can afford (or are able) to grow someone up. I see way more juniors hired than companies can afford, and then people wonder why nothing gets done with "so many developers". Each junior absorb capacity from more senior employees. It's purely a business choice whether you hire someone to grow up or not.

  Precisely the opposite. Usually "grit" means they're willing to hire hustlers who are eager to pick up new skills than established entitled slackers.
