It's not so much a desire for stability in general rather than the depreciation. I found that piece in the post rather convincing. I don't think most people have a problem with learning new skills in this field. But having to throw away old ones sure feels like a waste and given the model in the post limits how good you can ever get.
Also, sitting and staring at a text editor should not sound that awful for anyone who likes to create via writing code. Because that's how you do it. But that's not what you experience, obviously. It's about what goes on in your head.
I remember the feeling after taking a new job as a fresh graduate. It felt ridiculous that I know get paid for doing the thing I've wanted to do most of the time in the past ~12 years but I was told that you can't do that all day because you have duties. (Now the pay was actually pretty bad, even for local standards, as my first job was in an academic research institute.)
