It sounds like gatekeeping to me is my point. Nobody's gatekeeping, we're just acknowledging the huge amount of work that goes into creating a font. It's easy to forget sometimes as both Apple and Microsoft include very high quality fonts with their products for free. There are plenty of open source tools to generate fonts. So go ahead. Make your own font. I spent some time trying to make a font based on the writing of some youtuber. It's a fun exercise. And while drawing (tracing) the characters was actually quite a lot of work, that's about the easiest part of making a font.
