NS players should just specialize in whatever task they're the best at.

There is one obvious case of selfish behavior - saving for onos. The players using this method are parasites really , nothing irritates people more than an idle and unskilled onos whining for DCs then dying in seconds.
Sitting on 100 res as a lerk/fade is just as bad. Thats a hive and a chamber and enough to go back to fade. In a tight game where res is low, that player could make all the difference.

edit: if you have 100 res it likely means middlegame at the earliest, I know, but I it is possible to get that much res if you stay on top the marines o.O
Generally mid-late game yes. Usually its res that could be used on third hive or a chamber outpost near the rine base. By mid game I'm lucky to have 2 points to go to skulk, so I'd love to know why lerks/fades with 80-100 points haven't went gorge to drop a chamber for the benefit of the team.
Besides, if you're any good those spent res will come back very quickly.
