It is more intuitive if you spend more time in academia / higher education. Even around me, with a bunch of mid-lower tier schools, PhDs and masters are being pumped out semester after semester in very niche areas. In all my time searching through job boards, I've probably seen a tiny handful of chip design jobs compared to the absolute boat load of things like more generalized engineers, business analysts, financial/accounting, and so on.

And this is precisely why credentialism and large parts of academia must go. The incentives are perverse.
