Your own article disagrees with that statement.
There's no gene associated with narcissism and no biological mechanism of action. There's no cure. It's a belief system.
You want it to be nature because you think it will give your behavior a pass. It doesn't.
Everything being legal gives my behaviour a pass. But that's beside the point.
The article does include genetics as well as nurture.
It also states that a lot of it is unknown, so we cannot be definite.
"Several studies from across the world have demonstrated that narcissism is, at least partly, genetic—in fact, according to a couple of studies, the risk of inheriting narcissism is over 50% in some cases. Narcissism, like other conditions under the behavioral genetics umbrella, is often studied using twins."

Guess why the legal system was invented, kiddo
Because we want people to stop doing things we don't want them to do. With we, being whichever group having power.
Nothing I do is illegal, and hence of no consequence.

Narcissistic delusions
Using a funny word whenever you're at a road block causes growth to stop 😁
