The commoditization of web devs will occur, it's just a matter of when. Consider it the collateral damage from ever-more-powerful frameworks, a de-emphasis on SOLID-type software architecture, and businesses wanting to pay less for developers.

Couldn't agree more. I'd argue it's already well on its way. It seems there has been a resurgence in companies trying to shoehorn every application into a specific development pipeline within the last several years (specifically, the HTML5/JavaScript in-the-browser solution, rather than a more appropriate native solution). It happens every so often in this industry, but lately it seems to have accelerated.
