The tools these days by and large are still crap. Further, so many

Agreed that many of the tools these days are crap. However, that
survey did include hand coded HTML and JavaScript.
And most of the people in this field actually have the necessary
skills to create prototypes. I see it regularly in my workshops, in
the talks I do, in the conversations I have, in the interviews I've
done. They might not be able to hand code HTML/CSS/JavaScript, or
write C++, but they can create fully effective paper, PPT, Visio,
and slap and map (static click throughs), that do a bang up job. And
they've had great success with them.
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
