I didn’t watch yet, but to answer the question that is posed, it’s a combination of things with the first, and biggest being it’s all about profits, and money first and foremost, and never forget that authority bias is a real and terrifying reality. Almost anyone can make it through any “schooling” there is given enough time, and/or money to get a degree that says you’re now an authority on some bullshit as long as you don’t question the status quo. The masses will clap and bow because you have a pice of paper. I’ve seen it first hand with attorneys and physical therapists throughout my life. I have a degree in neither, but am likely more qualified to be both without a degree in a normal unkiked world than the majority of monkeys in peoples suits nowadays. That’s not to say there aren’t some great ones out there, but they are the few that actually have an interest in their expertise outside of it just being their career, and needing money to survive.

For a long time I wanted to create something, to manifest my ideas which others can receive. I wrote a book once, but I wasn't comfortable with it, so decided to can it after it was finished (I made 2 sales though). I think the plot is fine, but today I'd write it differently and better. Then I picked up programming with the goal to create video games at some point. I learned programming while creating a card game, and I think it was fine. Then I worked at a company for multiple years, and after I improved in my coding a lot (from meh to expert), I couldn't bear to even look at my old code, so I abandoned the project. I don't think I would have reached much even if it were finished.
However during a Christmas I started to work on a game, but only in my free time next to a full-time job. There were quite some difficult technical parts in it, but I managed to do it. Last year I worked on it full-time, and continue to do so until I am finished.
I do all of this because I have a fundamental passion. But not only that, I also have the skills required and the opportunity. If successful, a lot of options open up for the future. If moderately successful, that's also good. If it fails, at least I can put it on my resume when applying.
