John Carmack would agree with you.

And it's funny because while Carmack was that single person which was pretty much the best dev in the whole company, Romero was a better fit of your description.

Carmack obviously is (and was) a genius developer but I don’t recall him ever saying “Doom was my creation” or “Quake was all me.” Even though he clearly had a huge impact on the success of those games. He’s always been (in my eyes) a pretty humble and easy to work with person (this is seconded by some people I know who worked with him at Meta) which has contributed to his success.

Probably because we all know that already? People literally worship Carmack. There's a book titled "Masters of Doom".

I know I do :D
