It's hard when you make generalizations based on just personal experience.

Just a little FIRST story based on my personal experience.
I had the pleasure of being a judge at FRC events outside of my geographic area for 3 years. One of my judging partners worked for a very big, very famous company. This person was an engineer. This person gave money to the regional where we met as judges. And much to my surprise this person sent a check to help teams in my geographic area after I told a story about some teams.

This person graduated from Harvard.

I don't know what your definition of "incredibly successful engineer" is but I don't think it is the same as mine.
