If a dev only designs a solution that fits for exactly the current situation but doesn't allow any changes, it's not a good dev.

I don't think anybody is arguing this. Nobody (in my decade-plus in this industry) actively codes in a way to not allow any changes.

You evidently haven't met my colleagues. There are always people who go for the quickest hack despite the trouble it stores up for later, and they're usually encouraged by management.
