I've noticed the same, and I'm equally happy about it. I was also self-taught. I began teaching myself web dev around 2009 and have been doing it ever since. A few times here and there, I tried to learn the lower level stuff, but it's very daunting outside of an academic setting. In the past year, however, I've really tried to change my attitude. My 2024 resolution is to gain a baseline level of competency down to the assembly layer at least.
