aren't you describing everything that went wrong during the 20th century in the shrinking world of "art" music, where most composers have to have day jobs?
No such thing happened. The art music world actually expanded, vastly, during the 20th century. If a contemporary composer's university professorship must be considered a day job, then so must Mahler's and Haydn's conducting gigs, Palestrina's priesthood and Machaut's canonicate.
