Well, the "demand is high" part is true compared to any other professions, no?

There is a weird difference in the mindset:

"We want to hire a professional for $50k but we cannot, there is probably not enough of them for everyone, let's complain and wait."

vs

"I want to buy a good townhouse in a good neighborhood for $100k but I cannot, I guess I need to save more money or consider something of less quality."

If something is not available for the price you are suggesting, it doesn't mean it's not available at all (e.g. due to demand). Simply accept the reality and the market price.
