From the youngest level, you always put your best athlete, the one who has vision and skill, in the #10 role. Similarly, in baseball the best athlete, at youth level, is the shortstop.
It's a no-brainer from a coaching perspective.
So, you get to the highest level and from there you have to adapt because EVERYONE was the wunderkind of their youth team. So pretty much everyone has been the #10, or shortstop.
Other than pitchers and catchers, only 30% of the players at the major league level are playing the position that they played until they reached the bigs. To have a plethora of #10's is not a problem.
