I think that not everyone can be a large-scale architect, but those numbers can be increased.

People can be taught to at least think like architects in order to make better choices in life and understand when and how they are being manipulated by malevolent architects.

Also, one doesn't need to build million-user products to architect small changes in local communities.

An analogy: not everyone can be a good philosopher, but they should at least read philosophical ideas and be aware of them as they make decisions in life. Collective intelligence/wisdom can increased, even if most individuals are not professional philosophers.
