I don’t have an answer, but I’ll note that, for the four examples you suggested, science and sports feel more culture-y to me, and business and the arts feel more fragmented and multicultural. Like, it’s easier for me to imagine people in business and the arts “making it” without ever acculturating to some preexisting group or set of norms, than it is for me to imagine people “making it” as a scientist or an athlete.
