certifications are plentiful in the infosec sector. They absolutely do not solve the hiring problem.

Maybe because they are plentiful? I'm not familiar with infosec but if the bar for getting certified is "I can take a class and pay $XX to get this certificate" then of course they're worthless.

I agree, but in theory that can mean that we haven't found good certifications yet.
