I think there's actually an engineering reason for this shift to "soft" tech: the workflow for software development is way better (at least IMO).
There is just so much more information available and so many nicer tools available for the fledgeling developer. You have a huge library of languages, frameworks, tutorials and open source projects that need another pair of hands. This makes a difference when community and quick learning is desirable.
