This is completely untrue. I have in the past and continue to create web components that "hard CS" folks would scoff at and also quietly use in their own projects if my work weren't owned by my employers.
I've built chunking hi-def megapixel web camera services a decade ago when browsers were limited to 20mb uploads. I've suggested building simple structured data protocols based on xml for a high-rate foreign exchange brokerage client-server architectures. We wanted to secure traffic between the client and server so I suggested self-signed certificates.
I'm not stupid but I'm not a "10x developer" either. I work as a software developer because it's the most lucrative, accessible and interesting opportunity for a non-credentialed individual like myself. I've met folks with Masters in CS that unfortunately didn't merit a basic certificate in the same.
