I think you're probably on to something. However, just as many people can hop in to web development and quickly create value (or at least CRUD apps), you still need really experienced people with a breadth of knowledge to push the field/work on really complicated or large scale systems. It's the same for AI/ML/DL. Basically anybody can train an image classifier right now, but only a handful of teams on earth understand computer vision well enough to attempt to tackle self driving cars.
