> Reviewing a PR, writing documentation, and sharing knowledge are all things taking time away from their passion.

And are also career incoherent and not valued.

I get measured on points per sprint. Documentation, customers, and PR review does not help me hit key metrics, which is why I do all I can to get out of it, including being bad at it so that I am not asked to do it anymore. Nobody has ever scolded me or had a performance meeting with me about botching reviews, docs, or knowledge sharing. I am never asked about these in interviews either. The questions are all technical or generic "how do you handle disagreement with a colleague?"
