Drupal Module development has evolved over years along with templating systems which has evolved over the years. You need to have solid understanding of Entity Types, Field Types and Drupal Subsystems today in Drupal 9 module development. There is a significant learning curve to port modules from Drupal 6/7 to Drupal 8 with APIs and then to Drupal 9 APIs. Now with every module you are writing automated tests.
You can do very complex custom Drupal 9 module development which involves Javascript integration, Database API with Symfony dependency updated to Symfony 4.4. When you write custom module, make sure you try and have forward compatibility to Symfony 5.
From Smarty Template in Drupal 4.7 to PHP Template Engine up to Drupal 7, Twig 1 in Drupal 8 and Twig 2 in Drupal 9, the developers also have to be very familiar with these changing when trying to Upgrade / Migrate from Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 to latest Drupal 9.
When you write Automated tests for Drupal 9, make sure to add compatibility for PHPUnit 9.
And yes, now Drupal 9 minimum requirement is PHP 7.3.
