Well that's horribly reductive. I certainly do not expect everyone in a given field to know absolutely everything there is to know in that field.
Crazy enough, I also hold doctors and surgeons to higher standards than web developers.
If those web developers fail a critical government service, or online pharmacy or financial service, it can mess up peoples life pretty badly as well.
Yes it's truly a shame when the people responsible for critical infrastructure only hire the cheap inexperienced software engineers to build it.
Much like how relying on a resident nurse instead of a cardiologist when you are experiencing a heart attack can end your life pretty badly as well.
