Honestly, that's one of the reasons I never want to monetize my work and stay miles away from the software industry.
Modern world is all web apps that require you to subscribe to 20 different 3rd party services to even build your app. So you rack up bills before your product is even remotely lucrative...
Building an app with no third party dependencies seems impossible nowadays. At least if you plan to compete.

Niches where you can get away with that are limited, not just by technical challenges but because large parts of the social ecosystem of IT won't like that. But they do exist. There's also still things that aren't webapps _at all_, there's software that has to run without internet access. It's all far apart and often requires specialized knowledge, but it exists.
