I think it's less that nobody cares, it's that more people who don't care think they can get into these jobs and they slip through due to sheer volume. There have always been this many people that don't care, but never had opportunities to enter certain jobs or those fields weren't as appealing at the time. Many in software engineering don't care about the actual field, but because it's become such a high paying job, we see many people who enter purely for the money.
