You gotta keep in mind that there is a sizeable portion of any hacker culture that doesn't want to (or can't) do any part of the actual hacking that gets things figured out, but instead just want to use what was figured out in ways not intended by the original purpose of whatever was hacked. One might say the script kiddies of the physical side of things.

There are way more cooks in the kitchen than chefs.

To put it a little nicer, there's many skills encompassed by the title "hacker". There is no such thing as a universal jack of all trades hacker. Some are better at software, some are more comfortable in hardware. The RF hackers have a whole bundle of sub specialties.
