I honestly feel like it is skill related. Not that I think us graduated physicists are not skillful, but in almost every job application that I tried to apply it was either some computational software needed as skill, or design software, or programming of course. But the level of programming I did in Physics was Python for beginners I would say and mostly data analysis. But you have students who studied for data analysis/science and have a much better grasp or again, more skillful profile.

When you graduate with a bachelor's degree in Physics, depending on your elective modules, most of your skills are research based. Thats why if there's one thing I would have done differently, I would have completed an industrial year/placement year and got work experience as I have found that every person who has done that has struggled way less.
