Maybe I missed it but I don't see that explicitly in the article. I see someone who learns for fun and for their growth. That being said, yes people can take it to the extreme just to put something on their resume...working on unrelated nonsense at the expense of the team. I've been on the receiving end of this and can't stand this immature behavior. In fact, the two times I've experience it, it was the least concretely useful person on the team (but not a junior). When their BS is called out they ended up leaving one way or another instead of changing behavior. This is different from someone who loves learning and applies broadly learned lessons in day to day work.
