They're not. If the ones you've got are, it's because they are *people* like that, and them being DBAs is a mere incidental.

Look at this very newsgroup: it has posters who like to help; posters who like to post; posters who like to sneer; posters who like to demonstrate the enormous size of their ego; even some posters who do all of the above. Occasionally simultaneously.

Yet all are allegedly DBAs (yes, I realise it's hard to tell in one or two cases).

I think you may be just a little unfortunate in the DBAs that have been granted to you by the hand of fate. I'd be demanding a refund!
