There are husband and wife teams building premium titles and making millions
For every indie that "makes it" there are a bajillion that make babkas. The marketplace is littered with home developers. This "now anybody can do it" trope isoft repeated, but rarely connected to the reality on the ground. "It's easy to be rich!" Great, do it and stop telling us about it. "Anybody can make a top 40 tune!" Cool, do it.
whilst EA burns hundreds of millions and produces trash
EA also makes a shitton of money. As does Epic. As does Sony. As does MS. As does Ubisoft. The biggest money making games are still games being made from big studios - they also just cost a lot more to make. I've been in this industry as an engineer for more than 20 years. Nothing much insightful about your post, just a bunch of sweeping generalizations with zero actual connection to the actual lay of the land today.
And if you think 90% of the jobs will be gone in 12-18 months, I counter with - those are some nice drugs you're smoking. Had Sony laid off 900 folks 12 months ago, I highly highly doubt you wouldn't have posted the exact same thing. Talk is cheap. Come with the receipts that you've put the money where your mouth is.
