You seem to be misunderstanding people’s motivations. Most developers aren’t trying to be “better” we are trying to exchange labor for money like everyone else.

“Grinding LeetCode” (tm r/cscareerquestions) doesn’t make you a better developer. But it does get you in the top paying companies. Well I didn’t. But that’s a different story.

On the other side of the fence in corp dev where pattern matching is the norm, employers aren’t going to want to hear that you used Sqllite.
