And how many people can afford to pay a developer's salary after utilities and mortgage?
I think you’re missing my point: hiring someone is not that costly relative to training a billion-dollar model from scratch, so the barrier is definitely getting lower. An individual proprietor with a moderately successful business (or just business loans, let’s face it) can hire at least a couple of employees.
