Or machining and design tools weren't good enough to make an interesting one. Once physics figures out how to let me change the density/ mass of an object at the press of a button, I'll have your screwdriver hammer level for you.

Not really. I hang out with homeless people, hippies, frat guys, and any group I can work my way into.

You do superb work. Do not be ashamed of your skill. Tell them to fuckoff and forward the mail to some cheaper junior person you know. Adapt to keep a comfortable income, but, great work.
