Great designers are found on Dribbble. It seems you're making a leap from "Dribbble has bad designers" to "All designers on Dribbble are bad".

Just because some designers on Dribbble choose to focus on visuals doesn't mean that they haven't mastered the other components of design as well.

Dribbble and similar sites like Behance are great to evaluate visual design. For other components, you have other media (writing, videos, case studies, etc.) Why can't we just leave it at that instead of acting like this is somehow Dribbble's own fault?

As usual people find visuals distracting. People just can't understand that while graphic arts can be a part of product design, it does not constitute the entire process.
Sorry they designed a medium for a specific purpose but it wasn't the poster above you's ideal specific purpose so therefore it is worse than useless.
