Seeing so much of the talented currently laid off, why aren't we seeing new bootstrapped businesses?

The general advice that I have heard is to just keep learning and enter the workforce when it is normal again. But I thought for some people, this is the push that they needed to build their own startup or business. Sitting without any job that screw anybody's mind so this seems to be an option too. Funding is dried up but people with a good enough runaway can start a business together in a bootstrapped manner. Even if you return to the workforce right now, there isn't a guarantee you'll be getting your previous CTC, the previous WLB. Companies are trying to cost cut by overloading on a per employee basis and raising competitive nature between teammates themselves. If you getting this much toll, 70 hours per week in worst cases, might as well put that effort on your own venture. Building a startup is risky. But when your current job is itself risky, doesn't seem wrong to build one. But popping up of such small scale business doesn't happen much. Why?

Surprized seeing extreme sir culture and weird hierarchy.

So i joined this org, i read about the traditional culture but I didnt expect it to be this weird. On Friday itself I was surprized to see this extreme bootlicking. It was awkward. My colleagues starts calling everyone sir then agree to whatever the manager says and again nod to everything plus they also do it outside. They dont even point out a flaw thats how bad it is. Although I am still learning as a new joinee but If I use first names they are like why are you acting oversmart and they also feel like I should be respecting like them. Hierarchy is insane and theres so much pressure to conform. In my last company I had a flat culture and this is a complete shift and its getting hard to cope up. The worst part is its so normalised and everyone here literally have no problem behaving like this.
