I think this is because to some, work is a part of them, or they fell they are solely responsible for it. Neither is true. Make a distinction between you, and your work. You work, for the work to be given away. To your client. To your boss. To your customers. Dont hang onto it. Let it go out into the world. You work with many constraints; time, cost, already existing components, other people. So what you do is not fully decided by you. So neither is the fault fully your either. How you think about your work philosophically, matters here, I think.
