I don't think that will ever happen, nor should it. No ones main job should be to mentor someone else. The best teams all help each other. Early and often.

I’ve seen a lot of bad engineers and most of them undervalue helping others. Good engineering leads know that they can write more code by supporting everyone than by writing code themselves. Definitely a form of mentorship. I’ve seen some that are almost 100% mentors.
