In my experience, I would say yes and no. 'Yes' because it's easy to find people that will apply for positions - they're a dime a dozen... but also 'No', as the number of candidates who I would actually consider hiring has been steadily falling for years.
So whilst there may be an awful lot of 'developers' around, there is a certainly a dwindling supply of good ones. Speaking as someone who has interviewed many, many candidates over the years, I think this is the actual reason people may be finding it hard to find work - employers are finding it increasingly difficult to find quality developers. To stand out they simply need to be a lot better than ones being rejected. In the previous company I worked at, we were having to lower our standards just so we could at least get some more development capacity - even if they weren't that good.
It would be No if the developer tried to become specific, like I will make a chatroom for you, or I can develop app landing page, or a portal or similar.

Not related completely.

I mean, like if you be niche specific then the web dev isn't oversaturated.
