Being a prodigy is not necessary to set up a webpage (or whatever). I’d argue most jobs are processing low-grade data with legacy frameworks, which is a test of patience and not prodigy IQ.
I just looked for Drupal and Wordpress jobs and they exist ($60k/year seems normal). Since the whole point of these frameworks is to abstract out actually writing the bulk of server code, I’d imagine a large part of the job is dealing with legacy quirks, uploading photos, and keeping servers up.
There’s clearly a business need but as far as I know, there isn’t a mathematical-type of hardness to managing these types of websites. And on Wallstreet you have trading being performed with VBA Excel scripts…

True, but you are not going to get a tech job because you can set up a webpage. Maybe in 1999 San Francisco, but the world has moved on.
There are actually not that many jobs open to people who just know how to deal with a web framework.
