In addition, it pushes company culture to use passion as a hiring signal, discriminating against developers who do not show sufficient levels because they are not "good". In my opinion, this leads to both the so-called "talent shortage" we have now and the underrepresentation of certain groups in the industry.
There are far more developer jobs than there are "passionate" developers. Many developer jobs that need doing are partially or totally a slog that no one would be expected to love.
