I can tell you from experience that this actually can be 100% unintentional.

I had a friend and he was the king of telling you a problem and knowing that you would have a solution that he wanted fix his way, but make you think it was your own.

Then I noticed people would just not accept something as a solution but it turns into their own idea after a while. It's their subconscious working things out.

I just did a quick google fu and yup it is actually a thing.
