Also hiring manager here and I agree with you--I wouldn't hire even the best person if they displayed this behavior.
For most people, this is the case. But for the super elite tech worker, this is not the case--they are sought after. The stories you read here are from the elitest of the elite CS/CE program graduates.
Entitlement, narcissism, chose your poison. This person believes they deserve more and more and more and finds ways to justify their behavior.
That said, I agree that corporations are bullshit so I get it. This person isn't a hero, though.
I suspect that a lot of these get into companies during those gigantic hiring waves that result in massive layoffs a year later.
