I guess a minority do, but they shouldn't. They should be excited others are interested in the problems they enjoy working on. And if they understand better than we do, they should do a better job at promulgating their ideas.
I wonder if philosophers get annoyed when us plebs babble on about it so much without having spent 10 years analysing all the foundational texts

One thing I can imagine is frustrating though, is when a philosopher creates/discovers a great idea it often seems so obvious in hindsight. And therefore the philosopher sometimes doesn't get the credit they might otherwise get if working in another field.

Healthy philosophers don't care much about famous folk's from history. We care about observing EVERYTHING possible. Philosophy is bottom up, not some top-down religion. If someone cares about "foundational texts" they are historians, not actively doing philosophy.

If the foundational texts are useful beyond scaffolding, then the lessons therein are available at any point of difficulty, and are redundant by being perfect. It's why stories get retold. It's a more direct way to get the point across.
