...you think people primarily create indie games because of profit motive?

That seems to me to betray a deep misunderstanding of the nature of human creativity.

Games are an art medium. Humans will always create art, no matter what tangible rewards are possible.

Instituting a universal basic income, such that people can quit their soul-sucking jobs and still make enough money to pay for food, shelter, heat, etc, will absolutely create a huge boom in art of all kinds. That includes indie games.
