Having a job doesn't disqualify a person from forming a separate, revenue generating business.
Because time grows on trees...
To start a business you need to invest a lot of time (and money), which most people simply don’t have. I have a regular job and no children, and there are so many things I’d love to do but simply don’t have the time for. This is true for most people.

Most job contracts have no-moonlighting terms, non-competes, or mandatory IP assignment clauses.

You don’t need to quit your job to start a online business. I make 30K a year from a website that takes me about 10 hours a year and took about 1000 hours to build during which I learned a lot and had a lot of fun.

There’s a reason that when people have a good thing like this going they never tell anyone else about it. Don’t want competitors.

Fair enough.
It's not that YOU HAVE TO BE super-privileged to be able to quit your job and take a whack at the start-up lyfe, it's just that you are much more likely than the average person to be super-privileged.
That's how stereotypes work.
