>>3876309The barrier to entry, not only for landscapes, but most publicly available subjects is low by definition. So we see the most amateur content for those subjects.
People just are not going to hire props/models and equipment for a conceptual piece, or go out and extensively document something.
Landscape photography like this i always thought of as like bird-watching. Like you have a list you're trying to check off, but everyone else also has access to the list. It's not that its devoid of effort, because there's a lot of effort that goes in, its more putting in all that effort and getting something devoid of originality.
I've taken very few 'landscapes', but pic attached I took at the (almost) top of Mt Fuji at sunrise.
