I would say it is a range from 0.1-1.0,10

Companies need those 10xdevs because they are bloated with dead weight.

But office politics make it very hard to cut that dead weight.

If most of the team are actually 0.1s then a 1 will seem like a x10.

Anyway, I've worked with plenty of people who can get stuff done, and I've been able to get stuff done myself sometimes. However, it's all relative and if I'd been at Xerox Parc in the 70s I'd have been a 0.001 for sure.
