The average person can do anything right up until they point they say "**ck this" and decide to pay someone else to do it instead. At a certain point, it's no longer worth their time. On Task Rabbit, you can hire people to stand in line for you or walk your dog. It's natural then that people will pay others to do more complex tasks such as assembling Ikea furniture or building a website.
To make money in web development you have to be efficient to the point where your income is greater than the opportunity cost of doing something else. That's where the tooling and experience (your pro badge) comes in. Craft has tooling which makes for a smoother development process. The focus of Wordpress is to be as simple a blogging engine as it can be. If Wordpress adds features Craft has, then Wordpress users complain that it's becoming something else. If Craft tries to be more like Wordpress, then people will just switch to Wordpress.
Personally, I feel it's a matter of taste. One isn't more of a professional tool than the other.
