I think you over-estimate the average skill of non-Web devs, and over-estimate the attention paid to performance even by groups who probably know what they're doing.

It's less about skill and more about culture, knowledge, and the valuation of wisdom/knowledge within that culture.

but, yeah, I've seen some awful non-web code. :)
