I think your ignorance is showing.
There is far more to it than all that.
I've interviewed far too many nextjs experts who couldn't do anything else. That's not a skill, that's just knowledge, which at this point is freely available.

Just not a correct interpretation. Many skills start that way and even some people make a whole career mastering one thing and one thing only.
Not saying being trapped in React land unable to break out is good. But being able to create something, even if it's just with Nextjs is still a good thing.
We should hate on the businesses that force us to take shortcuts, value quantity over quality. They wanted boot camps with code monkeys.
other people cant do anything with nextjs, or anything with any front end at all.
its applied knowledge, understanding how nextjs works, and using it to build some application
I've also been using react professionally since 2015 and I've yet to see a nextjs application in the wild. It seems to mostly confined to the startup sphere.
