The thing is as startups mature and become enterprise level shops, they need people who know how to work with enterprise software. Guess who has all the experience with that? Yep, the people with 10+ years experience. My company is hiring very senior devs like crazy right now for exactly this reason.

I think there are some orgs that definitely benefit, but it’s an 80/20 thing: 80% of software shops are more than content to hire junior devs and live with the costs of their mistakes. (Especially because most of those costs never really get experienced by the people who make the decisions.)
