This sounds like a front-end dev that understands the intricacies of all of this when, again, this person is saying "I just want the content centered".

You can't just want. It always backfires. It's called being ignorant. There are always consequences. I just want to cross the road without caring too. Oh the cars might just hit me. Doesn't matter?

That's the person that's supposed to do this job? Sounds bog standard. What's the problem?

At some point this is just silly.

If you're assuming the user knows nothing then all tasks are hard. Ever try putting an image in a page if you don't know HTML? It's pretty tricky.

At some point, sure; but there is always value in comprehending why someone might find an existing flow overly obtuse and/or frustrating when they "just want to do a simple thing".

To imagine otherwise reminds me of The Infamous Dropbox Comment.

But these companies DO care (or at least that's the point) and don't "just want to do a simple thing".

The point of outsourcing is to give it to a professional with expertise like seeing a doctor. Dropbox isn't "just a simple thing" either, so no not the same.
