How hard is it to hire people who understand how a physical server even works these days? Probably most engineers under 40 have never touch a physical machine, under 30 maybe have never seen an ethernet cable...

I suppose you are being facetious because what you said sounds absurd.
I am generalizing for a few lulz. But I've also worked with people who have never seen a physical server - they've told me. And mac dropped the ethernet port from their laptops years ago. I've worked in offices where everything is on wifi. So I'm sure you could find quite a lot of younger devs who have literally never seen an ethernet cord. Fwiw I've never seen token ring hardware.
