You ablsolutely right! I think the root of the problem is that large companies that were once not very big started make development tools that intentionally make life easier for programmers outside of these companies primarily for the purpose of marketing. The idea was that developers outside of the big companies would do the least amount of effort and get the most out of it, while the developers inside the big companies would stay very experienced and develop those development tools. This situation gave rise to the fact that developers outside large companies after a while already demanded that development be as simple as possible. The simpler the development environment was (and languages with technologies, of course), the more developers outside of large companies received large companies and, as a result, more profit (a prime example of Flash technology). New developers are already coming to development environments in which simplicity is above all and they are simply afraid to go down a level, they think that black magic is going on there, and when they encounter a problem at a lower level, they think that it is enough to go to stackoveflow or write an issue on github and there are already dark lords lower levels versed in black magic just solve the problem. In fact, software development has been swallowed up by the same problem that has existed and will continue to exist in many industries. Initially, the conditional bubble of swelling is small and not visible, but it grows and becomes larger and larger. And once it bursts, it's all just a matter of time.
