New comment by freedomben in "Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?"

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I don't think that has to do with FE development in general. Some of the sharpest/smartest devs I know are FE JS guys. Seriously.

On the backend I have seen probably more "low skill" and even "incompetent" Java devs than any other language. Why? My guess is the low barriers to entry (as you say) and the ubiquity. I've also worked with some amazingly sharp Java devs too.

You're definitely right about the "borderline or de-facto frauds running webdev businesses selling 'ultrasophisticated' corporate websites on Wordpress to F500 types for few $k USD per hour of dev time." That's a rough problem and makes legitimate big-time web development bids induce sticker shock.
