Yep. JB is a wizard. It's a shame they won't listen to him, but yeah, egos and ladder climbing project/tech pilots that have the be The Smartest Man In The Room prevail.
Exhibit 1: Go read the M+ thread on SpyHub. 50 pilots talking about its inadequacies and one pilot telling everyone how wonderful it is and give him time, not really listening to any of the feedback and not caring what anyone thinks. It's become a line in the sand for the 4th floor. We're gonna use this turd and we're gonna like it. It doesn't matter one bit that the HTML flight plan we've been using forever works just fine, and is an elegant solution.
