The situtation I'm referring to is the fact that we have millions of potential designers trying to enter the web development world who feel blocked, because the way websites are currently built is so abstract and so unfamiliar. In a lot of cases it's the exact opposite to what most visual people expect.
I remember feeling that way myself when I was starting out. I persisted and broke through, but countless others don't. So while, as you mentioned, the current situation is a lot better than it was 5 years ago and is improving every day, it's still clearly not optimal.
