It’s the devs too. Do you really need an army of developers to build a web app or put text onto screen? No, a small team can easily handle that much faster and at higher quality without all the framework bullshit.

You also have to consider that developers are not sales people. They are a cost center.

… devs don’t hire the teams… management does…

Most devs I worked with prefer smaller teams.
