That's like saying that hardware should be only repairable by vendor because majority of humanity doesn't have skills to fix it themselves.

That's not even close to what they said.

They said, you can do it "if you have the skills" and that "the large majority of humanity does not" have these skills.

It's a bit like saying 'let them fly on private jets' and someone pointing out that only a few people in the population can afford it. Doesn't imply that private jets are useless, just that their use is limited.

Do you have access to private jet? Because everyone has access to, for instance, Atom source code. Even if they can't use it.

Everyone has access to private jets, even if they can't afford them.

Anyone with access to a computer (a prerequisite to use software in this context in the first place[0]), also has access to the tools to learn to perform these actions.

Pretty sure most people don't have the ability to teach themselves to fly a private jet and then walk up and take off.
