So what's the end game here? Only the children of the current senior software engineers will be able to become SWE? Are we sinking into middle age this bad?

I think a privileged few who grow up with technology and have the space to explore at a young age will make it through as SWEs. BUT I think that if you are a career switching your game plan is to not switch careers and look at bootcamps and education as a way to bring programming into your old job. All jobs will become more computer related and you can win in your old job by embracing that.
