I completely agree with you. There was a time were a software developer was trusted as a responsible adult company employee. I think that what changed is that, before, devs were mostly experienced trained professionals, and young ones were expected to be seriously trained before being "trusted". Now, dev work has been commoditized with the influx of "web dev shops" and easy things like js and nodejs allowed a lot of mediocre script kiddies to be considered the same as professional developers.
