I think this might be premature if you're trying to apply this to how the world makes money with software. There's too much of the economy that depends on adding another abstraction layer to make money, so you'd need to rewire that as well unless we just want to break things. You'd eventually have to tell a business "no" because they're +1 abstraction layer above the limit.

I think most of us realize that working at corporate is still a necessary evil as long as we need to pay for stuff. Frankly that sector can burn because they've been taking advantage of developers. Most of the money goes to people above you, performance bonuses are not the norm, etc. We shouldn't be actively trying to give them improvements for free because of this behavior. Let them follow the hobby/passion projects and learn these practices and limits on their own.

I think society has made it convenient for people to lend their creativity to someone else's vision. I don't think its a good idea for talented people to work for corporations that have no connection to the public good.

I don't think its a necessary evil, I think most people either don't want to work to realize their own vision of what they want in the world, or want more than they need and they are willing to sacrifice their soul for it.
