I think the key is...

Companies expect something for nothing these days. In the days of old, pretty much all the employers seemed to have a good grasp of what they wanted, and that they had to acclimatise and train new hires to get them productive. That and they very often were kosher with paying for further training of their existing staff.

That gave people a career. Now if you're "old" you're deemed useless even if you're not, if you're young-(ish) then you have to fit or lie about it and hope to get a position.

The whole concept of "good things take time" seems to be lost on the companies.
