Yes. When I was younger I worked in solo projects. I knew my code almost line by line.
In my last decade, in middle sized companies, nobody knows all the hundreds of micro-services code. And code changes while on vacation, that can be 6 weeks of the team working without you. That is not ideal, but in such a big code base it is difficult to have everyone reviewing all the changes on a single micro-service, impossible to have all 20+ teams reviewing all of each others code.
Different problems need different solutions and code styles, I guess.
