Code never matters more than people. It's people who make the community and
it's the community who writes the code or who decides what belongs to the
project -- never a single individual.

There is a lot of content on the web that exemplifies that in professional
environments:

How To Prevent Coding "Heroes" From Destroying The Team

Eliminating hero culture in software engineering teams
-

The myth of the Hero developer

I am as puzzled as you are why we let this kind of abuse happen in this
community, so claiming a CoC violation for a legitimate question seems a
bit ridiculous in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents
