I think you're right that the propensity of non-technical organizations to try and hire unqualified people at below market rates leads to a particular problem in web development. But I think people programming other types of software have structure that comes from elsewhere. For example, if you write plain Android or iOS apps, in may ways there's a kind of standard app architecture that's just used and taken for granted. Sure, it can be muddled, but only so much for the most part. And the same is largely true for desktop applications, too, when they're built with IDEs that impose structure or even things like Unity. The thing that's extra weird about this is that most web apps have to reinvent the wheel in ways that desktop software doesn't.
