Mate I've got to spend 40 hours a week with these people. I would much rather hire someone who is socially competent but needs to learn a few things technically than hire an asshole who is just going to be a pain in the ass.
Honestly if you view every interaction through a strictly transactional lens you're not gonna have a good time being a human. Most of our lives are spent doing things we don't really want to be doing, be that work or cleaning or building/repairing shelter, etc. The thing is, most people find ways to find some joy or comradery in these tasks. If your only goal is to complete each of them as quickly as possible you're gonna spend most of your life being fucking miserable.
But getting back on track - not every company is built the way you describe. Personally, I've been able to build a team at my company where everyone gets their work done, enjoys each other's company, and goes home after 40 hours. If I hire people who don't get along with everyone else I lose that balance. So I hire people that fit the culture, and teach them the skills they need technically. The offices with a bunch of individualistic assholes tend to work longer hours, have poorer quality, and higher turnover rates. And they are all fucking miserable. Personally that is not something I'm interested in.
