The people I know like this are people I consider to be "advanced juniors". They are held back by their inability to work with other parts of the business and understand customer needs. In order to be successful they need to be spoon fed requirements. What I've seen from the limited sample in my orbit is that they've actually doubled down on AI and are creating little private worlds of agents and further isolating themselves from the business, not talking about how great collaboration and such are.

Are my standards too high to expect juniors to also be able to work with other parts of the business and ask for additional requirements if needed?

No. "Plays well with others" is part of being a functional member of any engineering team that I'm on.
