Unfortunately it's increasingly the case that people learn to code to get a well-paying job rather than because they're interested in it (with the employment opportunities being a side benefit).
This is probably what's lead to the rise of Electron, and using Javascript everywhere.
It's was like that in the 1980s. There was always good money to be earned in Law or Accounting but for those without the drive to study IT looked like easy money. Met many a failed accountant that thought all you had to do was sit in a nice office, drink coffee and poke the keyboard occasionally. Over time they moved into project / client management
I dunno, I've reverse engineered proprietary binary TCP protocols and written assembly ISRs in my current role. I still think electron and js are great! Electron and wasm will be even better though.
Note that this does not make it a requirement for anyone to not care about coding. But not only getting into coding because it is so much fun but because, hey, it is actually being paid really well and you are flexible and it's future proof, that seems to me to be one of those good problems to have.
