There are already too many commercial pilots in the world, and almost all of them are captive to the need to maintain their flight books by .. flying often. This has been a common problem for decades now - too many pilots, not enough planes for them to fly.
So what has happened is those who own and operate the planes have a glut on their hands. They can choose the cheapest pilots available, and keep them flying for cheap, simply because there are 10 more pilots out there willing to fly just to maintain their certs.
The same is happening in software development. There are too many cheap developers out there, willing to write software for beans, and thus producing crappy software is the norm. Nobody wants to pay to do software 'properly' these days - they want it down 'now'. Knowing that there are 100 developers out there willing to work for peanuts, for every developer who expects to get paid properly for doing the really hard work first, means that customers of software development have a glut on their hands too. Its a buyers market, simple.
