My shooting partner and I got into shooting because we were doing magazines and he was tired of art directing stuff where the photographers were a headache and didn't understand what he needed on the page.
If you know web design, you will be able to shoot more commercially useful stuff than shooters who do not know web design.
I'm totally baffled by why you think of picking up the camera as an attack on other people who own cameras. That makes you more of a Photographer, in the pejorative sense, and less of a designer who decided to shoot. I regularly come across photogs who think they are in a contest with everyone from me to anyone who ever borrowed a camera from a friend, when I'd just as soon buy their stuff, even though I can shoot it myself as well.
