Entry into the domain is hard because EE is incredibly mature in western countries.
By that I mean most work is heavily regulated, either defense, aerospace or industrial goods that must meet safety certs. Schematic and PCB design flow are heavily impacted and you can't go all tech startup go fast and break things on it.
Anything that's mass market consumer goods these days is outsourced to a shop in Asia or even Eastern Europe to design. At that point their labor is cheap that you don't care what they use.
