Because most of us have families and can barely afford rent and healthcare. Those of us with a bit more success are finding that extended family are falling into poverty and need help (thanks inflation and transition to lower wage jobs!). They cannot work more than 2 jobs and also found a company.
Most newly founded companies fail, so it's an expensive process unless you've a network of FFF or VCs to draw from.
Many founders get nothing out of the process but stress and bankruptcy.
