There is always this element among artistic industries (and really any skill-based industries) that have a bureaucracy. People who get a lot of credit for being professionally polite glory hogs. A lot of where the credit goes is ass-backwards. Unfortunately, politeness and ambition tends to count for a whole lot more in bureaucracy than actual creative talent - and in a bureaucracy, those in power can take undue credit without much criticism, at least until they’re exposed in some way.
Sometimes people get undeserved credit thrust on them because they created the initial concept even though the real talent and direction came from others. Simpsons is a great example. While the initial concept and Simpsons family came from Groening, James L Brooks created the general direction and was the one who initially prompted Groening to pitch something in the first place (to replace a concept Groening didn’t want to sell), and Sam Simon built most of the early Springfield universe and character personas, with Al Jean kind of taking over both Brooks and Simon’s roles, later.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
