I'm not sure I understand the point here. Are you complaining that your training as a software engineer didn't prepare you to be a hardware engineer? I'm in software and have made very basic PCBs for some projects. I have never used KiCAD. I'm sure the learning curve would be steep. But I expect that as my classes were focus on software design, not hardware design.
