This is similar to people wanting to volunteer after disasters, but get mad when they're told they'd be more in the way than helpful. It's selfishness and narcissism masquerading as philanthropy. Instead of doing an actual useful task, they want credit for the exciting/pioneering front line work. It was the same thing with the ventilator shortage. How many people publicly declared they were "inventing" a new, easy to make ventilator? Design was never the problem, manufacturing was. But few were interested in manufacturing extant (and already FDA approved) designs.
