It definitely happens on the real world throughout the industry. Personally I find it is the company culture that cultivates it.
My first job (they employed me then made me redundant almost immediately - best career experience ever!) was for a company who used an in house language which was then compiled into java to be deployed, the only 2 actual java employees were treated like god's even though one of the 'in house language developers' was a well known (at the time) published java guru, who was ignored.
A more recent company the head architect drank with the director so could literally talk to everyone like sh*t. They weren't even a great architect, usually it was we must use this for this project, why?, Because it's good. 5 minutes into the project and hit a problem you'd get well don't ask me I've never seen that tech before!
