I think total need for developers in the world increased so rapidly that we couldn't find people with enough experience and teaching abilities to educate new developers properly. If what Robert C. Martin claims is true, number of developers in the world doubles every 5 years.

So, I really think there is a competency issue here. However, I don't believe that it is restricted to the web; it is true for every platform. It is just that learning web technologies seems to be a better choice if you are new to programming as one can use those skills for almost every platform. (yeah you can use almost every language to develop for multiple platforms, but come on even Microsoft is using web tech for vscode)
