Why do you have that in quotes? They did not say senior roles are special.

They're just saying: acknowledge team wins, but you still did something individually, be able to explain what that thing was in detail.

The OP was frustrated about having to prompt interviewees to talk about their accomplishments and how they always talk in first person plural.

I am in support of this being the natural way of thinking. No one could do what they did without support.

I am also vaguely suggesting that maybe every company’s process of promoting, hiring or giving out bonuses is wrong.

I don't think many people are opposed to that way of thinking. But as a responsible team member you still have individual duties and you need to be able to explain them.
