"This" is lazy but yes, this. Especially in the app space, 90% of the stuff coming out has barely any "do people who aren't me actually need this, does this deliver something new and useful" thought put into it. It's a skill most people lack, they can't judge it.

Bootstrapping a solo software business has multiple core required skills. Technical skills are now largely unnecessary, but it turns out most people lack multiple of the other required skills too.

Technical skills are very much still required to take the product into maturity. Coding a prototype is very different from building something actually polished enough to generate value.

No, there's a class of apps that are very much small enough to not require them, yet still deliver value. You're thinking too large.
