Why is game development competitive?

Of the artistic disciplines I feel like game development is the hardest.

Curious to hear people's perspectives on what makes the industry so competitive.

Is it easier to be a game developer now than before? Has supply caught up to demand? Has the market stopped growing at the same pace?
