Great argument, could be used to rebut anything:

If someone wants their mobile phone data and photos to be private, they should make a compelling mobile os they control.

If someone wants a water supply that is not polluted with toxic runoff they should start their own waterworks, lay their own pipes, and potentially buy their own lake because some pollution is unremovable.

If someone wants not to be discriminated against they should start their own country.

Meanwhile your reduction tactic can be used to claim entitlement to anything.

You have to give me whatever I want or modify your behavior in whatever ways I insist upon, because the only alternative for me to get my demands met is by creating the product from scratch and/or starting my own country, which is of course absurd.

> starting my own country

Technically this worked pretty well when we had unexplored continents. If Elon has his way, maybe we'll soon-ish have Mars.
