I can say that I fix quite a few bugs that people with your sentiment give up on.

There are a lot of things in software that need to be possible, but you don't need (or want) the entire team doing it all the time. A team made entirely of 'people like me' would be a disaster. But a team without anyone like me will die a slow and lingering death and not even know why.

It's important when thinking of group behavior - be it work or personal - to differentiate between "I don't need this." and "nobody should have this."
