I wouldn't say it's that black and white...
With being a "developer", guys can get a copy of WP, or any other CMS out there and throw together a site, customize it with pre-made plugins, and deliver.
The same can be said with designers, as you put it. But to be a truly great designer, it takes years upon years of effort -- whether we're talking about identity design, print, web, graphic, concept artists, etc..
Same with coding.
