I think if there's any sense of entitlement it comes from the people doing the hiring lamenting that they can't find qualified people.

Well, if qualified people are in short supply, you've got to give them what they want if you want one of them to work for you.

You can't on the one hand complain that developers ask for too much and then on the other complain that you can't find developers. The problem in that equation is then the person looking for developers.
