Growing a plant in the backyard is several orders of magnitude easier than buying the equipment and taking the time to brew beer.
... but your underlying point is correct. A better analogy is probably basil, which a large percentage of buyers actually just keep their own plant at home.

Homebrewer and gardener. Home brewing is easier. Maybe requires a tad more money up front.
Cannabis just requires seeds and some ground outside. Sure it won’t be the best, but it won’t need any equipment or attention this way. Brewing beer requires at least some active effort.

Also requires no sense of smell. It stinks for kilometers.

Not necessarily. It depends on the type of strain, and the number of plants.
I don't see how you can think so. No need for fancy hydroponics and equipment to grow pot, just soil, sun, and water. The plant does the rest.

I think it’s not a meaningful comparison because you aren’t growing your own hops.

I think you mean, net margins on growing marijuana are an order (or more) of magnitude beyond potential home brew net margins.
Brewing beer is pretty dang easy.
Since that didn't actually happen, and I'm also buying my carrots at the supermarket, we can probably deduce that it's not home-grown supply that's the problem here.
