You're thinking about this wrong. I've had a company fail and ended up living in my car. I was majorly in debt. The Texas AG filed a lawsuit against me which was super no-bueno. I ended up living in literal garages all over the country for years.
And yet, I was not disillusioned by what I did. I was disillusioned by all the crap I saw, but not my stuff.
To be a bit mean to the OP, nobody should expect the world to provide you fulfillment if you're not willing to create it yourself. Quit worrying about what exists or what "will survive in the current commercial culture" and find something to do yourself or a group to work with that's doing something interesting. Blaming the world for not being up to your satisfaction is old-man-yelling-at-clouds territory. The OP is too young to be that disillusioned.
