The reason for the high demand is obvious.
There are no such things as "DevOps skills", so no-one can find people with them.
Naturally, skills that are not exclusive to DevOps, and weren't invented for DevOps don't count as "DevOps skills".
Something Spike Milligan wrote comes to mind, about a private mopping the floor in an army base -- Spike called it "rearranging the dirt".

Employees bullied by their bosses are more likely to report unfairness and work stress, and consequently become less committed to their jobs or even retaliate, according to a new study. I think we have a winner for, "Most obvious research"
Making it even worse (bold-face mine), "Yang and her co-authors reviewed 427 studies and quantitatively aggregated the results to better understand why and how bullying bosses can decrease 'organizational citizenship behavior'"

At least one wouldn't doubt credibility of their research

Had they reviewed a 428th study, perhaps they would have found that differing viewpoint that says working for bully bosses is all unicorns and rainbows. There is a certain part of the population that we would say are "gluttons for punishment", they would thrive in such a situation.

I'm pretty sure your boss must have applied pressure to you to write that. (Either that or you are such as boss.)

Depending on the employee, they can positively impact the bosses too. Repeatedly, at high velocity.

Totally true. I've experienced this. Having such bosses just push you to arrive on time and go home on time, without giving anything to the Company (minimum effort)
Usually a short transaction period where you start browsing LinkedIn to find a new job.

We’ve all been part of this debate about whether we should have an open-plan office or not. In general, executives would advocate for the open-plan office, while the individual contributors would say, “Please, no!!!” "What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?"

I turned down a 6-figure job once, simply and only because they had an "open-office", featuring a very large floor with a couple dozen large round tables that sat 6 employees each. The noise was deafening, even though few people were talking.

That's similar to a contract I turned down.
That one had straight tables, arranged as if they were putting on a wedding reception, with two low-level managers sitting in the centre of the top table, and team leaders either side of them.
I actually laughed out loud, right before I walked out.

Microsoft, the tech powerhouse once maligned as the “evil empire,” is engaged in a radical shift, taking on the mantle of corporate responsibility and civic leadership. Think of how much money they're not spending on lawyers these days

TBH, I think I'd be happier if they were to take on the mantle of software house, since that's all they are, and start doing that one job right, before "diversifying" into yet more vanity projects.
