You can generalize this by saying that as production values go up and user expectations rise, it takes more work and a larger organization with more people to succeed.
This is true of programming languages, but just as true of movies, games, mobile apps, and so on. It's the result of competition in a creative endeavor where it's possible to scale by adding more people.
One way to avoid this is to come up with a different "indy" aesthetic where traditional production values aren't so important. Another way is to figure out how to build on the work of others instead of starting from scratch.
