Look at it from the perspective of a random game developer: which one do you actually have more control over?

You're essentially asking, "why don't you ignore the thing that definitely works right now, and instead try the thing that might work out in a decade or two if you get lucky?" Why would any sane business choose that option?

No, the actual business question for indy developers is "why do you expect us to agree to buying a thing that we can't afford, instead of demanding at the societal level that we all improve the public good that we actually do have access to instead?"

That's what GPs remark of "only big players can afford private networks" was about, and it's the opposite of what you're claiming.
