In sports they call that a Ball Hog.

Is software a collaborative effort or an ego trip for three people?

As someone else mentioned, their expert was spread too thin. I’ve had this happen to me, too, and the only solution I know is to give away (delegate) almost everything you can. If some part really makes you happy, hold onto that even if you could give it away. Not for ego, but for burnout. You need some reasons to show up in the morning, just like everybody else.
