That's not because acting is easy or because there's a surplus of good actors. That's because acting doesn't pay shit unless you're really, really lucky. For a show that takes a dozen people a couple months to prepare and sells maybe a few hundred tickets, the financials are pretty stark.

" There is a massive surplus of good actors, which is why there are tons of decent films and plays with great acting wherein the actors are paid little. Go to a film festival. Most films are not that good actually. Lot's of hiccups in the stories, production etc.. But you'll always see a ton of good acting along with some bad. And there are tons of decent actors who can't do it full time. My neighbourhood is full of them.
