But my point is that we're reaching an asymptote, where knowing much more about deep learning gives only a marginal advantage.
So it's actually worse than web development.

Sure, but that's mostly because deep learning is so new and 'magical' that most people outside the field can't spot the difference between someone having PhD in the subject and someone having worked though a couple of Tensorflow tutorials. As the field matures and its practical applications to various fields and industries becomes clearer, so will the value of knowing more about deep learning than your peers.
There was a time when knowing how HTML tables worked was enough to get you a job, and knowing how to post a form to a cgi perl script made you an expert. It's getting easier and easier for more and more people to do more and more complicated things on the web every day, and still (and probably because of this) people whom are really good at it are commanding a higher and higher salary.
