you are clearly missing the point, and probably feel like you have that tendency and talent yourself

Not at all. Im more of an all rounder. I just like to see people matched to tasks which suit their temperament and talent.

I hate seeing people who would rather be doing customer interaction half heartedly refuctoring while people who live and breathe code sit on customer calls bored out of their minds.

I also feel a little disgusted at seeing talent wantonly squandered unnecessarily.

I'm having kind of a hard time imagining how such position would look like. Only working on greenfield projects, moving onto the next project once the codebase gets intolerable?

What such position? Im a little unclear on what you're asking.
