I'd say the real world doesn't reward being actually gifted.

More accurately, the real world punishes being below average at any one of like a dozen skillets. You can't min/max your stats because being 99th percentile at something won't make up for being 30th percentile at something else. Better to be 75th percentile at both.

The real world requires cross-disciplinary coordination, which means thriving requires both soft skills and multiple hard skills.
