I had a working theory about this when I used to be like you.
There seems to always be a finite amount of completable work at any workplace. Let's say for purpose of your example it's 72 story points worth of work.
By completing about 30 story points yourself in a 4 member team you might inadvertendly end up taking work that could be comfortably completed by your team mates leaving them with work that is either very challenging or work that they are not motivated to complete.
At the same time they see you overperforming and basically "carrying" the team. Imagine yourself in your next job, after this experience, having a team mate that is able to do 400% of the work you can do.
Would you fight this teammate for the finite amount of completable work or would you sit back letting them do all the work ?
