Sounds like a good way to create even more cults of personality and egotistical assholes who can't work in a team.

Breakthroughs aren't made by lone geniuses anymore. We just have that superhero fetish eg. picture of black hole where credit was practically given to that one woman in the picture.

Breakthroughs were rarely made by lone geniuses even before. Sure, there are some, but even Edison had a huge lab full of people doing the work.

Bell labs was extremely successful (at least on the innovation front) not due to lone geniuses, but due to a large collection of very smart people all collaborating together.

Not everyone who dislikes working in a team is an "egotistical asshole". Some of us are just neurodivergent and have social anxiety.
