In regards to your last sentence - as a developer, I _like_ solving business problems, and coding is just a tool used to get there. What makes me proud is when end users are able to use the application and it solves some problem they have, and as a side effect, produces revenue for the company.
Religious adherence to processes gets in the way of that and if they block me, I'm happy to shove them to the side and get executive support to do so. My experience with code reviews is that they are 95% style nitpicks, 4% ways to make code cleaner and simpler, and 1% real bugs which impact end users. I only value the 5% myself. From a cost/value perspective, I haven't been sold on the value of doing code review on everything.
Not all developers feel that way, sure. But it is a mistake to assume all developers are driven by the same things.
