Part of the problem is new. If it not new, then they are just looking for grunts. And a lot of the smart ones don’t fit that category. I experienced a similar problem. Who needs a visionary and experienced systems of systems engineer when there are no new funded programs.
Unfortunately, white males in SW have a major chip on their shoulders. Entry level jobs, where these folks have a nursery school diploma from these woke universities get them six figure salaries, with no experience in life.
I manage many of them and am in the industry... a lot of the new hires, complain, start a bunch of drama and bitch how a peer makes 1-3% more then they do.
Also its rare to find one of them willing to work an hour over 40/week (even w paid OT) and if programs fall behind, it's always someone else's fault.

Most software engineering projects are outsourced now. It's a shame

Maybe hire from different universities? I feel certain I'm in a different area of the country than you, but I don't have the same experience.
