There’s a simple reason: when you do something yourself, the value is in both having it done and learning how to do it.
There’s probably another reason too! If you know how to do something yourself, you save effort while communicating what you actually want to providers, and use less resources of failure-mode-anticipation algorithms.
It doesn’t support that exact point but rather “the better you can do something yourself, the less downside is there in doing it yourself instead of outsourcing” which seems to be base of paradox mentioned.
I’m still a little confused. The idea that “the better you can do something yourself, the less valuable it is to do it yourself” is pretty paradoxical. But isn’t “the better you can do something yourself, the less downside is there in doing it yourself instead of outsourcing” exactly what you’d expect?

Hmmm? How does this support the point that “the better you can do something yourself, the less valuable it is to do it yourself.”
