Is getting to the ITM easy?

Can a player who in most tournaments reaches ITM or very close to it be considered a good player, or is reaching ITM an easy task that many achieve?

For the very simple logic of, "if you are so good, why are you broke" everyone has their own problems, even the lowest of professions like a janitor or sweeper can support themselves and their family. A person who is elite in his field simply has, and simply is
