Commentary on it
This made me think about the part that people with education/knowledge play too.

The more you know, the less confident you become, as you realize that you don't know everything.

So, that is why I made the comment about inner and outer ignorance.

Inner ignorance (made this up, not sure if it is a thing) would be self-knowledge. Self-knowledge improving can lead to the increase in confidence in the knowledgeable, that may be required to counter Dunning-Kruger
One of the biggest challenges we face in society is a combination of inner and outer ignorance and the way it correlates with confidence

We have a definite colour spectrum in how we are as people. Makes sense that companies would too, as they are made up by people too.

(Even though founders of ideas and ideologies may bring the initial energy or colour)
