Anyone can throw up a marketing site with no actual product behind it to "gauge interest" in a weekend for a few dollars (though even a few dollars isn't trivial to everyone, so can't be assumed.) Marketing, actually building the thing, maintaining it long term, possibly quitting your job to pursue the idea. These things are hard and life-altering when you're living paycheck-to-paycheck (as the vast majority of Americans are), or on less than living wage, or potentially with a family to support or having a chronic medical condition to deal with. We can't assume everyone is in a situation that allows them unlimited nights and weekend time. It's also biased towards software companies; not every idea worth pursuing is in software. It takes time, money, and effort to build a company that makes tangible things.
