the tests are written after the code is merged - there will be gaps, and the second dev will be lazy in writing those tests

I don’t really see how this follows. Why do the second one necessary have to be lazy, and what stops the first one from being lazy as well.
The reason I like it to be different people is so there are two sets of eyes looking at the same problem without the need for doing a job twice. If you miss something while implementing, it’s easier for you to miss it during test writing. It’s very hard to switch to testing the concept and not the specific implementation, but if you weren’t the one implementing it, you’re not “married” to the code and it’s easier for you to spot the gaps.
