Your average GFY coder isn't making $75k a year, so if they aren't capable of getting one of the many available jobs that are out there, then they probably aren't reliable or very good.

That is not entirely true at all. Many of us don't want to be locked down working 40 hours a week on some other guys stuff... Especially in adult. Us adult programmers know how to make money with our sites, why should we spend all our time and energy working for someone else especially for $75k/yr?
If I found someone who paid me my hourly rate 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year, I'd be making $312,000/yr.
See the problem there? Most people in adult are cheap as fuck, they don't pay for what their work is worth, so most of us competent programmers just stick to ourselves and do some freelance here and there, all while building our own stuff.
So you know what happens there? You see constant "programmer fucked me over" threads on GFY and the rare ones regarding borked or k0nr4d who do some freelance here and there being praised.
