All work is an assembly line. It's not a value statement, and it doesn't take the art away from the work. Work is work is work. Developers just have their head shoved too fair to get away from feeling like special snowflakes.

You're talking about risk management, not individual worker ability. Yes, it is a poor idea to have any one portion of a system maintained by only one person. So don't. It is a poor idea to have only one person who understands the system architecture. So don't. It's a poor idea to not recognize the different strengths and weaknesses of all your workers regardless of context. So don't.
