Apart from the many reasons, one of them is because communication skills in and
of themselves are just not that remarkable.

Neither are technical skills: Everybody has them - everyboby knows how to operate a car, how to turn on and use on a basic level a computer, how to screw together Ikea furniture.

Like communication skills, technical skills are commonplace and become valuable only when they reach a certain level of expertise. The actual level may be different for both sets of skills (and, by the way, for technical skills in different fields), but there is no fundamental difference in this regard between communication and technical skills.
