It can be I guess, but I think it's more about solving problems. You can fix a lot of peoples' problems by shipping different flavors of the same stuff that's been done before. It feels more like a trade.

People naturally try to use what they've learned but sometimes end up making things more complicated than they really needed to be. It's a regular problem even excluding the people intentionally over-complicating things for their resume to get higher paying jobs.
