Not sure I understand. My point is that "having devs being more creative" does not always mean it is a good thing. If the dev is creating more inventive code that solves what they incorrectly think is the problem while not solving the real problem, then it is a waste of time and money.

I'm sure that, obviously, the dev is convinced that their inventivity is genius and solves the problem. But we need someone else, impartial, to estimate if the amount of code is worth it.
