Let me put it this way, any point in learning how to work with wood if you can buy all your furniture ready to assemble from IKEA? Judging by the amount of wood working power tools you can buy ( most of which appear to be located in my father's workshop! ) , I'd say there's a thriving market for wood working skills to make bespoke items despite most people buying ready made items.
Most people are happy with "off the peg" on most items in their lives, however some people want to learn something for for educational reasons to understand how something works, others want to offer bespoke options to others as there's money in it and others is simply having that skill to always add the final bespoke touch to every project.
