I don't think writing is special compared to other arts. Sure, there are many editors and cinematographers, but there are very few who can actually make an interesting edit, or interesting cinematography. Similarly, there are many writers in the world, but only a handful of really great ones, even fewer great writers who know how to write for film (being a great novelist doesn't mean you'll automatically be great, or even good, at writing a great screenplay).

There's cool editing and shooting on reddit filmmaking subs not to mention the super competitive music video market for cinematographers and editors

I feel like this is what I indicated as well.

There's cool writing on reddit writing subs as well. Nice snippets do not a great whole movie make, in any part of the art form.
