I’d love to have a job with multiple roles. I’d guess there are many people like me.

The reason it is hard to hire such people is low pay. Why would I want to wear multiple hats (and take on extra stress, even if I love the job) when I can walk across the street and get higher salary for a bit more boring role?

Of course I don’t know how much you’re paying, I am just pointing out the general case here.

I think you answered your own question, no? It's more boring. Some people value excitement over compensation.
A higher salary for a bit more boring role is actually great for some people. You can master that boring job if you want, and the higher income combined with less stress allows for fun hobbies to scratch that generalist itch.
