It’s ridiculous to say everyone who has an idea for a film could have gotten it made already if they had the skill.
There are endless amounts of people with real skill in the film industry that cannot get their movie made even though they have the connections and the experience. Famous filmmakers even experience this.
Imagine the number of people who couldn’t break into the industry or simply don’t trust it? There are countless people around the world who have fully fleshed out ideas for films that producers won’t finance because literally billions of dollars are going to create ever more Marvel slop.
You’re focusing on one type of person that may or may not have the skills. That’s just one specific scenario, there are many others to weight just as much.
What about all those that do but can’t make it happen because of all the realities of life?

I'm talking about film makers, as in directors who can either hold the camera themselves or instruct someone else where to point it from a budget they provide or source. You seem to be conflating having the talent to actually make a short film yourself with script writers getting a production green lit on someone elses dime.
Almost all successful directors have done the former at the start of their career.
