If you define "cult" as people who do things differently than most, then they are a cult I guess.

You are overcomplicating this and making the system or approach out to be the end all whereas it's just a system.

Look at it this way:

You have a business. You hire the best people you can. You want the people to solve problems and improve themselves. You have a system that over the years has in your opinion through observation and measurable results (correlated or not) allowed them to do this better than most. The people have to be compatible with the system to thrive in it, just like air traffic controllers, floor traders, nurses, and waitresses have to be compatible with their "system" or go find another job.

How is this a cult? Keynesianism is a cult, this is just a business that's run how the boss says it should be, like many others and more successful than most. Check their growth in assets and employees over the last 10 years.

"Humans don't work that way" because humans create artificial constructs which obscure reality, not an optimized thing with a lot of room for improvement.
