If that’s true, why is it so rare? Why is this secret undiscovered?
What is “it” referring to? Bootstrapping a small business?
There are quite a lot of successful small saas startups that took no funding. Are you familiar with microconf? The business of software conference?
It might seem rare if you don’t know anybody doing it, the knowledge isn’t evenly distributed. Doesn’t mean it is rare.

It's not rare at all.
But if you have a library nearby, that can take care of a lot of the concerns you’re talking about. Before the pandemic, I frequently worked out of one. Your hypothetical 16 year old likely has a suitable spot at their school.
You really don’t need an existing network to get a business started. You can find initial users on Internet forums, or reach out to people on LinkedIn.
