In my experience it's not so much a shortage of people willing to work for peanuts but rather a shortage of "experts" whom the company doesn't have to train at all and will magically sit down in their desk and print money.

Every industry has their own version of the perfect employee but in tech, companies actually expect to get them.

>> a shortage of "experts"

In such situation, wouldn't using standard tools would benefit companies, but also benefit employees. And from the tecchnical point of view, this seems achievable , because many companies do similar stuff.

But instead we get the currrent situation(one example is javascript frameworks). Why ?

Each time you use or refuse to use a particular Javascript framework you make a democratic vote on the situation. So the existence of lots of JS framework is a result of a democratic election.

The internet has made that a pernicious aspect of our culture that seems impossible to shake.

This might even be true - but it does not say for which cost/salary it is available. :-)
