That's not the same web devs making those same mistakes. Developers with some experience do not write code that fails against easy sql-injection. But companies prefer to hire younger inexperienced devs for the reasons that have been discussed here on /. many times.

Does not match my experience. Some (few, say 10%) of these people do indeed acquire insight and experience with more time in the field, but most do not seem to. They make the same basic mistakes and have the same defective and incomplete understanding of how thing work, 5 years in, 10 years in and then they move to another field because they have become unemployable in their "specialty".

Those few are the ones you want to keep. However, you won't be able to keep them if you don't pay them well, or make their lives difficult/annoying with stupid management decisions. They'll be the first to leave as they have many options and don't have to deal with stupidity -- leaving your company with those that seem unable to learn from their mistakes, or just don't give a shit.
I'm considered a decent developer, and if you want to keep me you better be prepared to pay me significantly more than that fresh CS graduate that just joined the team, don't give me any shit, trust what I'm doing and let me do my work unsupervised -- like how you would treat another person that you've come to respect and trust.
Do that, and I'll pro-actively come up with ideas and solutions for problems you didn't even know existed yet and will treat your software as my own making sure that no harm comes to it, not from inside or outside the team.
Failing that, I'll just rake in some money until something better comes along, while you only get maybe 50% of my best as the constant distractions/annoyances/stupidity just don't foster a good environment for creative work.

Yes, very much so. I see that all the time, especially with large customers.

It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
