Today, yes. But that's a problem our industry needs to solve. A lot of our labor force has already paid in money and time for education. Our education system has simply failed to deliver the full skill sets. Not necessarily the education system's fault -- our industry needs to know what skill sets to ask for and what is their value.
I would like to respond that the maintenance costs and thus TCO will be lower for the better designed system - however I have no idea how to formulate this into a tenable economic argument since I have absolutely no data to back this up.
Except the extra labor costs of someone with that skillset.
