The real issue is that mastering something takes an awful long time - 10.000 hours or 10 years from what I have read (Malcolm Gladwell, Peter Norvig, various research). Most people aren't willing to put in this effort and most people aren't willing to suck at something for years, therefore they focus on the thing they are good at. Maybe we could become awesome at multiple things if we are willing to invest 10 years into learning something instead of investing a few weeks.
