You're simply describing the end state of a hyper capitalist system, as outlined by classic Marxist theory.

The core operating principle of which says capitalism requires and promotes systems that enforce the separation of labor from the product they produce. This precludes fellow laborers from meaningfully communicating with each other; knowledge sharing could expose more of how the product "works" after all! Only in final combination, following an undisclosed (to the worker) larger plan, does the product become whole and provide utility.

So not knowing "what happens" in layers "above" and "below" you for your specific work unit is key. This is the "de-skilling" tenet of capitalism and is required for exploitation, conformity, at scale. As labor units become smaller, they require less skill and time to produce, rendering laborers "conditioned to a machine." In other words, workers must acquiesce their skills in the name of "progress" of the system itself. This can easily be sold to the laborers, couched by real world data highlighting the obvious efficiency gains, along with a heavy bonus of having to do less work yourself.

Only by making ever smaller parts of a whole, awhile hiding the utility of those parts produced, can capital rob labor of their value (their skill, their products, their output.)

This very same system lends itself to outcompeting private labor by way of parallelization: as it just so happens that smaller slices of work tend to parallelize better than larger ones. If you can operate at a scale that bespoke creators have no chance of replicating on their own, you "win!" The beautiful moat, the envy of all.

In other words, you're just describing being a worker in a highly efficient capitalist machine! Look! We're almost there! I can just about smell all the "winning" from here...
