> They just need to be good enough.

That's the magic phrase that really does the heavy lifting here.

Companies and leadership have to define what "good enough" is for them, and in almost every case that comes down to profit and prestige (or power if you take it a step further).

As you said, developers are costly. When a company just wants profit it usually makes sense to hire someone just skilled enough to make the product shippable.
