If you are trying to sell it, you are doing a poor job and effectively siding with OP while desperately trying to write the opposite.

Juniors are mostly better than what you write as behavior, I certainly never had to correct as much after any junior as OP writes. If you have 'boring code' in your codebase, maybe it signals not that great architecture (and I presume we don't speak about some codegens which existed since 90s at least).

Also, any senior worth their salt wants to intimately understand their code, the only way you can anyhow guarantee correctness. Man, I could go on and on and pick your statements one by one but that would take long.
