Only if people would start using OSS projects that are out there for them for free and contribute (where contribute means, using, supporting, adding to documentation) it would be solved already.
You know there is libre office, there are tons of other OSS apps - accounting, CAD, image manipulation.
Whole idea that people somehow need to be developers is crooked and making it worse. There are tons of already useful local first software rotting out there - only because „everyone uses Photoshop” „everyone uses Excel”.
I don’t agree with „barefoot developers” - it should be „OSS promoters” that promote open standards and open applications and not come build up each and every piece of software by reinventing the wheel.
I as a developer don’t need to make every app for myself - 99% of my needs for software in personal life is covered by excel and 1% is communication apps that cannot be local and someone has to run server anyway.
