It is a useful exercise to try to map any complaint that something sucks, or that “these people who are in charge are wrong”, into a business plan for making a profit by doing something better, and see what obstacles you hit. However, sometimes the obstacle is “The law forbids you from doing something better”.
For example, my contention is that the requirements for becoming a doctor in America are too high; that one could train slightly less intelligent people to do doctor-work, and certainly drop the requirement for a bachelor’s degree before going to medical school, and still get doctors who are more than good enough. (I’m not 100% sure that this requirement ultimately comes from the American Medical Association, but let’s say 75% sure.) How would I monetize it?
