Because the hardest part is finding clients.

I could say good buy to my (comparatively) low guaranteed salary to "setup my own shop", but my current employer wouldn't take me as consultant since we have a rule about size of companies we deal with. So I would have to start looking for new client(s) from scratch without any guarantee I will find even one.

I think this is it. Surely almost everyone aspires to do it at some point, but finding and winning the right type of customers is very difficult.

And to note, by the time you're well versed enough to set up shot you likely have life obligations that prevent you from living for no income for a few months to kick the tires.

And also there's a big difference between doing and making money. Not everyone knows how to sell themselves. I certainly don't.
