Hiring top talent is both hard and costly. So many companies hire just a few top talents and fill the rest of positions with average guys. This works well as the top guys solve the hardest problems and also split the complicated things into less complicated things the average guys can tackle. If I would start a software business, I would do the same. I would rather direct juniors and give them manageable tasks, solve the most complex things myself and take care of the architecture than hire experienced seniors who I might not afford. There is a big problem if those top guys are gone.
