Actual crafts, as in hand crafts are either wildly expensive or imported from the 3rd world. You can make them yourself, but then it's probably expensive not just in equipment but in time.

With software craftsmanship, I think there are the same options.

I don't think anyone forgot, so much as craftsmanship of all kinds got more expensive if you want it done here.

And the money seems to matter to a lot of people more than ideal quality does. Far fewer people buy a (reasonably-priced if expensive) hand-made table from Amish craftsmen than buy (overpriced but cheap) Ikea garbage.
