While I share your sentiment, don't forget that there is a very large pool of prospective employees who may be beneficial to a company in spite of a more narrow skill set, even if they don't grow their skill set. Take college grads for example. They're relatively inexpensive and have a moderate skill set as they begin their careers. Are they useful to hire? Yes. Do they know anything about operations? No. Is it necessary for them to? Not from day 1. They have a lot to learn, and early on, they may be more effective to an organization in a more narrow role. Let's try not to stereotype all engineers who are looking for employment into "already has all skills" and "cannot hire because lacks all skills" buckets. There's a scale, and some set of skills can be very effective for some organizations, even if they aren't quite where you are. I'm probably being pedantic, but I felt it necessary to highlight the implicit assumption.
