Why can't people release packages for examining local copies of the blockchain?

"People." Why don't you write one instead of just criticizing theirs from the sideline?

It takes a lot more skill and capability to be a creator than a consumer. I would like someone to make a movie about two time travelers who chase each other through time like a car chase. However I have zero filmmaking skill and I don't really know how to even start such a thing. My skills are best applied elsewhere, that doesn't mean I can't cross my fingers and hope that a talented filmmaker makes that movie.
