Go on then, go look for them.

Go search on job boards and fine all those mystical jobs.

They are the tiny minority.

The last job I had was doing graphics coding for a video game, and before that it was c++ CAD programming. They’re not hard to find at all. They probably seem more rare because the barrier to entry is much higher but I think that's a good thing.

Selective hearing from you.

You claim there's MORE than web dev jobs. Go to a job site, type in developer, and count the web dev jobs. Now count the non-web dev jobs.

Worse still, you're repeating this and replying to me even after ThrowawayR2 gave you a hard number to go off (a mere 13%).

Not only do you have web businesses, but also almost all enterprise apps are now web apps. I'd guess that those are the vast majority of jobs in the market, but again you probably won't believe that.

They're all web dev jobs because it's easy to deploy. 20 years ago, I used to work in places that had to roll out desktop apps to everyone. It was a nightmare, as well as a security nightmare as they had to have the db open to the whole network.
