Yes, of course. Same way social media completely democratized blogging, but it turns out that most people have nothing interesting to say. Now everyone can build that app they want, but there's probably nobody else interested in using it. They probably don't even use it, themselves.

It’s like knitting. You can teach a 10yo to knit in an hour. You choose appropriate supplies for a beginner and they can see something come into existence with relatively little effort. Still, few will produce anything beyond a scarf, even fewer will produce something they would wear in public based on a pattern, and fewer still will go on to knit an imaginative piece of clothing they designed themselves.
