This is an equivalent of "our town job board has mostly carpenter jobs and few metalworking one, so then we started building cars out of wood".
Yes it might be cheaper and easier to make a car out of wood but it will drive like crap.
Using tools not made for the job yields crappy results, who would have known.

Depends on what the goals are. If they are to take people from the job market that currently exists (lots of webdevs) and build software that is good enough and ship it to earn $$$, then clearly they've succeeded, no matter how much people complain about the inefficiencies or how suboptimal the tools might be considered.
