You don't think companies try to save costs by hiring the cheapest and dumbest people?

I don't think that's the exact mechanism, no.

They might go on a hiring freeze, cancel a role, or in some cases pass on someone asking too much... But I don't think any major players are actively out trawling for "cheap and dumb". Certainly not Cloudflare, AWS and Google.
