I know it's hard. As a reasonably competent developer, why is it so hard for 5 of us to exist in one room? I know lack of hiring expertise is a big factor, I know salary is a big factor, but shouldn't this problem be solvable?

hy is it so hard to consistently find qualified individuals? Do most other industries experience this same problem at the same scale?

Most people aren’t competent. Most people are also poor at evaluating competence. And most orgs don’t actually have harsh hiring and firing policies to try and address this. Not that they would work anyway because of (2).
