The car analogy is false.

Buying a mass produced car isn't the same as "rolling your own" from pieces.

And it sort-of has its software equivalent in creating a blog and choosing a theme and a couple of plugins, maybe.

Besides, as far as the "masses" are concerned, software choices are more plentiful and cheap than ever.

So why would the go out of their way, to make apps?

I guess you could have said the same thing about websites 5-10 years ago. Why would anyone bother wanting to make their own website, when there are so many web designers out there, who work for cheap?
