I once saw a guy ask whether he should start a dog walking business and the top response was something like "dog walking isn't scalable, you should build a dog walking platform instead." This person liked dogs! He liked walking! He lived in a neighborhood full of busy professionals with dogs!
But the Passive Income Brain thing had gotten so deep into how people talked about business online that "do the simple obvious thing that works for you" was considered naive, and "build a technology platform for an activity you've never actually done as a business" was considered smart.
The dog walking guy could have been profitable in a week.
The app guy would have burned through his savings in six months and ended up with a landing page and no users.

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs
I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers.
I made him say it twice.
Jade face rollers.
He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20
