It's not just the prospects of finding a new job that sucks, it's also that no one can actually afford to start a business. The continual draining of wealth from the lower and middle classes has had a severe effect on the lower and middle class's ability to compete.

The only way to actually start a business with some potential degree of success involves being a suck-up to massively wealthy individuals so you can onboard an angel investor for your product. This also generally means gimmicks that appeal to the rich and wealthy. A great example is smart kitchen appliance whose goal is to do something worse than what's already on the market so that they can corner people with dark patterns and subscriptions.
