The corollary to that true comment is that the market doesn't train people to be pilots any more. It trains them to get right hand seat jobs in commercial jets with 200 hours. You don't need to be able to fly (by the seat of your pants) to be primarily a systems operator. This is just as it should be in twenty first century aviation until there arises a situation which calls for basic flying skills and decision making. Then one suspects, there is sometimes a rather large accident.
