People attracted to software development for money alone without any interest in technology or development will not last long. Lets play your comparison in reverse and nursing suddenly becomes extremely lucrative because of staff shortages or whatever. Like pretend it pays as much or more than software development and nurses get a cut of insurance bills or something. I might be able to get training and fake it for a while but I would be an utter failure since I have no interest in nursing or health care from a career perspective. There are probably as many developers working on health care systems as there are working at FAANG/ad-tech. Then nearly every industry these days has software developers. Have you read about the licensing of updates to farm equipment? that's software. Who says software developers have the best minds anyhow? It's a fallacy that someone excelling in one field somehow could excel at anything.
